I have done mushrooms quite a few times. I was an atheist for ~13 years, & I am perfectly comfortable with the unknown, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't seek to understand all that we can.

What makes sense to me is that reality is the body of God. It may be impossible to say for sure whether there is any sort of consciousness attached to it, but I know that on some level I tend to act like there is.

I think the divide between good & evil is between the pursuit of truth & the pursuit of status. So it makes since to hold up the story of a man who was killed for helping someone in defiance of arbitrary authority as the guiding light for who to be, & as a warning against the sort of authority worshipping group think we should avoid. Either we honestly seek & worship what is true & right & good, or we will end up worshipping authority. And those who worship authority will always eventually work to kill God & all that is true.

These same patterns just play out over & over.
