See, it's not so much creating the "playground" for me..
It's creating our brains to be able to register so vividly what happens in this playground. I mean shit bro..how can you give us a gift so powerful as we all know the brain can be..yet damn us for being skeptics..?
The thing that really, truly swayed me away from Christianity, and I haven't told a soul this either..I am being 100% truthful, I know I troll a lot but hear me out here. The real reason I stopped believing? I've dedicated over 15 years of my life to being a Christian. Even when I was a small child..I was devout. If all the believers, and prophets and great men in the Bible that did right in Gods eyes received signs, and got to talk to Angels, and even God himself, why couldn't God give me a small sign that he walked with me?
When the best friend I had in the world died, why couldn't God tell me that he was there for me, that he would be my best friend? Where was God to pick my head up when I lost my girlfriend in a car accident? Just a simple sign for a devout believer. "James, I am here I am carrying you." That's all I really needed, but instead I just had to entertain the theory of God in my brain.
I realized after a long time, that it was me that picked me up through those hard times. Not God.
