I have read the negative tapes in our heads about God often have to do with a parent, if we have a Father specifically who is not forgiving, and harsh, we tend to project that on Our Father in Heaven.
I am relatively sure we are living in Brave New World, not 1984, we will be controlled by our access to pleasures not need totalitarian taskmasters.
AI will be instrumental in this, able to feed many pleasures of people. In a way it probably will be considered a god, like the Man I heard about...

Atheism is a safe cover for a lot of true blue Satanists who don't want the stigma. I am fairly certain Ridley Scott is one, considering he trumpets paganism in his Gladiator films, but demonizes Christianity in his other epics, and his Alien films are occultism, I mean H.R. Giger who designed...
I find myself in the Catholic camp of not weighing people's internal faith walk. We really have no idea who will finish the race or fall away for good.
As Jesus said in the parable,
"One Son said he would go work in field, and the other Son said he would not, when the Father went to field, he...
I have been in every kind of Charismatic stream, Evangelical, Non Denom, Inter Denom, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Messianic Judaism, and even attending some Catholic Masses at Christmas and Easter, and one Thursday Vigil of Easter Orthodoxy.
