I See God the Same Way I See Superheroes. As a Source of Hope, Not Proof.

I’m a young male and to me personally, God is like a superhero. I like Spider-Man, and I like God too. Both inspire me, give me hope, and help me get through tough moments. That doesn’t mean I believe they’re literally real.
When a Spider-Man movie comes out, I go watch it because I connect with the character and what he represents. In the same way, when there’s a God-related day, I visit spiritual places because I like the atmosphere, the meaning, and the sense of peace it gives me.
For me, it’s not about blind belief or denying logic. It’s about stories, symbols, and ideas that make life feel a little lighter and more hopeful. Just because something inspires you doesn’t mean you have to treat it as unquestionable truth sometimes it’s enough that it helps you live better.

the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage so the response doesn’t surprise me At least from my perspective.

Putting bias aside, the main issue seems to be how this is handled which makes the reaction pretty predictable Hard to say where this lands long term.

From the outside, the follow-through is what will decide this which turns this into more of a debate Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Not gonna lie, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s the key detail here. Feels like there’s more coming here. That’s the impression it gives me.

From the outside, this depends heavily on what happens next At least from my perspective.

Looking at this, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which explains why reactions are split That’s what changes the context. That’s the impression it gives me.

Honestly, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s why opinions are all over the place

If we’re being honest, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage Hard to say where this lands long term. At least from my perspective.
