Are you ready to build the most scientifically and philosophically defensible belief system that still holds what you need in a higher power?
Where all of this comes from
Nothing here was invented from nothing. Every tradition grew out of one before it, and the lines below are those descents: 197 traditions on a scale that gives the last three centuries as much room as the ninety thousand years before them. Click any one of them for what it is, who founded it, what it holds and what it claims.
Are you ready to begin?
Step 1
Pick anything that is true for you. One is enough. Call it God if that is your word.
At the pure atheist setting in step 2, these are the questions a higher power with nothing supernatural in it can actually answer.
Talk about it the way you would to a friend who asked. You might say what it is like, what it cares about, how it feels to have it with you, or what it has done for you. Nothing is too small or too strange.
Anything at all. A person, a presence, the sea, your dog, a light, or nothing you can picture. Say whatever comes to mind first: its size, its colour, where it is, how it feels to be near it.
A name, a word, whatever feels right. Leave it empty and it will choose one from what you described. You can change it later.
Through other people, through what happens to you, in your own head, in the quiet, or not at all. An example helps if one comes to mind.
Step 2
Every belief about a higher power from 197 traditions has been rated twice, once against the scientific evidence and once against the philosophical arguments. The further right you slide, the more your higher power is built from the beliefs and traditions that hold up best. At the far right it claims nothing supernatural at all. Your answers in step 1 still decide what it is like; this decides what it rests on.
Step 3
Answer step 3 and press Build it. What you get appears here.
Behind all of this
Nothing was written for you except the description, and that is held to what your beliefs actually say. Each claim under it is one a real tradition makes, quoted from its own sources, with the scientific evidence and the philosophical evidence recorded against it.
