This thread is not intended as a platform to argue against God or other deities.
I just want to talk about how those of us who have discarded the idea of deities can still enjoy the benefits of divinity.
First off we could establish if there are any benefits to interacting with a divine idea.
Seems pretty likely there are, but let's discuss it.
Interaction with an idea of perfection offers a couple things up to me immediately. First off it gives an unexhaustible source of self criticism by comparison. Secondly it paints reality in a sort of inconsequential light, which could be great for dealing with problems.
Thoughts?
