I was introduced to process theology/philosophy while hiking and listening to the Philosophize This podcast. The idea of god rendered as introspection, or the application of values found in introspection, completely stunned me. This is such a beautiful idea and largely expressed by the likes of Hegel and Whitehead, so I am very confused why this never seems to be a topic of discussion here.

I want to mention Jordan Peterson's lectures on Christianity and how much hope they provide for the future of religion. I saw a thread recently that asked for an opinion on him and *every single reply* was negative and belittling to his character regardless of how obvious it is that the basis of his message is just to push people towards responsibility and how we can find that responsibility with a healthy relationship with *our idea* of a righteous God.

I denounced whatever version I had of Christianity at 13, and now at 19 I know I am still naive, but we can't deny the necessity of honesty and how our biology evolved to make use of a theological philosophy to structure that honesty! Please, please, please reconsider what God (beyond the messages and metaphors of Christianity) means to you.
