Are you Jewish?

😂

I'm not much for organized religions. There is an underlying order to the universe, and natural laws that might come from somewhere. I'm not against calling that God or The Gods, or anything spiritual, but think organized religion is created by man, and often very inconsistent with my own ideas about this.

For example, Jesus says to turn the other cheek. Natural law and game theory says morality is based on tit-for-tat, and without disincentivizing these bad behaviors, we get more of them. The entire premise of justice is based on consequences for doing the wrong thing, not in the afterlife, but in this life. If a man strikes me, I ought to strike him back equally, or he will think he can strike my neighbor as well, and will continue until someone does. I'm also pretty sure if God exists, he isn't a petty jealous paternalistic tyrant as depicted in the old testament, these are people's ideas about God and morality, and like many other peoples ideas, i dont think these are very good ones imho.

I think morality and natural laws exist, and if they comes from God, they wouldn't look anything like organized religion tells us they do. My god wants me to obey the natural laws, not for HIS benefit, but for my own and my fellow mans, so things can be better for all, including me
