Mishap, I'm not in the business of helping anyone, or converting them or persuading them for that matter.
Just a few points. If your image of God is an old man / magician in the sky controlling nature at will and wishing destruction on humanity then I would say that that is a primitive idea long discarded / outgrown by most.
Most Christians (and I can't speak for all of those, let alone those of other faiths) see God as working with creation, with humanity in all its manifestation. Jesus as the suffering servant at one with the poor, the oppressed and those who suffer. As Pope Francis said 'the church needs to surge forth to the peripheries, the existential peripheries where people grapple with sin, pain, injustice, ignorance and indifference. Jesus is there knocking at the door waiting to be let out into the wider world'.
Now, I don't expect you, Mishap, to have any sympathy with this view, as the idea of anyone having a religious belief is incomprehensible to you. But to those who do, God is not 'out there' but here and now and we can work with God or not.
And please don't think that I am saying that those who do not have a religious belief are in any way lesser or more involved with social justice than those who do. That is a sterile argument.
And again, I repeat, as I have often said on this forum, rituals and the formal liturgy are not there for 'comfort'. It's in many ways quite uncomfortable to look inside oneself and ask where one is lacking in compassion or humility or whatever. And the idea of an afterlife (which always pops up on these threads) is another irrelevance. It really doesn't matter. God is beyond time and space so the question is meaningless. It's the here and now, and what we do with it that matters.
