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.
Totally get it! Even if you don't *believe* in the superhero, that hope is still there for ya.
Makes sense to me - that's how some of us find our own way!
