Don't judge my opinion as everyones. People who are spiritual but no religious come in a wide variety. I assume there is some sort of thing that created everything, I don't know if it's sentient or just did it without a purpose. Either way I don't think he directly cares about what is happening on earth. I just kind of view god as a thing out there that we are yet to discover and probably never will.

Fair enough. Why do you think so?

I think there is so much out there that we are yet to discover and the Universe and Matter doesn't exist just cause it exists. No matter what science will never find the true origin of the universe no matter how far back we discover. There will always be unknown before what we know. That makes me think there is something metaphysical or spiritual that created and let's the flow of the universe happen.

My views on God are there is no reason for me to believe he directly impacts life. I believe if you roll a dice 100 times the exact same way it will always land on the same side. That means if we take the same actions it will always result in those outcomes. I don't see where a god can intervene without directly breaking the laws of physics or doing something extraordinary and honestly, there are no real good documentation of that happening. You can say the Bible or Religious books but that isn't enough for me, I need some solid proof because they can easily be faked (I don't mean to insult your religion, that's just my views on why I don't trust them).

If there is a God, he exists for 2 reasons. He either knew how the universe would end up and set it up for the ending or he created the Universe for the sake of it existing. Either way I don't think that the insignificant spec of dust that is Earth and my life are cared about by God. That's why I say I don't think he has a direct impact. I think there is something out there though and maybe and afterlife but I don't think it's a He or She. I think it's a thing beyond Human Comprehension.
