Yeah you are correct. Doesn't have much to do with God though.
This would all depend on peoples different views or understanding of God. Not everyone in the world may be religious or Christian, but it does not mean their view or understanding of God is any less or more correct then your own.
I don't considered myself religious, but I do believe in God.
What is God, if not the Universe?
I suppose the next though would be is God apart of the Universe, or do they reside outside of the Universe?
If God were apart of the Universe, did they create themselves and the Universe, or did God themselves come into being at the Universe's creation? Is God the Universe its self?
That saying that God is all within us, at least to me seems to imply that God is the Universe, and since humans are "created of the stars" we have God within us.
Or alternatively if God resides outside the Universe? Would that imply there is more beyond the Universe or do we simply reside in a "simulation" of sorts.
Great questions.
These are the sort of questions that make talking about religion so difficult because everyone believes different things even though they think they're talking about the same thing. These are often too many questions for online discourse, and you have to ask every person to make sure the conversation is grounded, so what happens is these questions are simply ignored and people keep bickering over misunderstandings lol. But that's human nature I suppose.
As far as I'm aware, many Christians believe Yahweh to be independent of the universe. He is the creator not the created.
Absolutely agreed, these conversations are generally very deep and definitely the Shit Post community is not the best fit for them.
That being said this one idea always resonated with me.
The idea that "we are drops of water joining to create the ocean", suggesting that individuals are interconnected and form a larger whole, like drops of water merging to create a vast ocean.
Or how's Ajaan, the Buddhist monk in season 2 of White Lotus phrases it.
"When you were born, you were like a single drop of water separated from the one giant consciousness. You are born, then you die to descend back into the water and become one with the ocean again. No more separated, no more suffering."
