God completes the universe? I thought the universe was an expression of God - an expression in so far as our current senses and accumulation of consideration agree that it is what ever it is. Probably a lot more to things than that. (Which I figure makes death so important. We get to experience that expression in ways that aren't filtered throught the evolved biochemical exhuberence that is life.)
I'll take the second question as a general "What do I get out of the 'God' idea". There is something underlying all the energies and interactions and what not that we are slowly becoming more aware of. Some basic common whatever that ties it all together. I see it in writings and in art and in all the ways life works with life. I see it in the sky and in the Hubble pictures and in the speculations that popular science writers render comprehensible for folks like me
I feel it in my gut and I've held it with my children and I kissed it's cheek a couple of days ago at a visitation in a funeral home. You want me to pull a simple answer out . . .no can do. But when you die you will be reintegrated more directly with the answer yourself.
I figure no worries. Life can suck, death sucks, and there is heaps of cold uncaring shit for billions of light years all around us. So what. It makes sense even if we don't understand it. It makes sense even if we never will be able to while alive.
Works for me
