    I have no idea how to interpret “improve our conscious contact with God” any other way.

    … All they’re really doing is using their imagination to simulate a being greater than themselves and then asking “what would that being want for my life?”

    This is a secular interpretation of “improve our conscious contact with God” that doesn’t actually involve “communicating with a God”

    Is there something about this interpretation that you don’t understand or disagree with?

      I already told you what I didn’t agree with and why I didn’t agree with it several times, so I have no idea why you keep asking me over and over as if I will change what I said.

      I even did what you wanted.

      It feels like you just are insistent that I must agree with you.

        I didn’t and still don’t see any explanations for why you disagree, other than “being athiest” which I do not believe is sufficient explanation in and of itself. There are plenty of athiests who find reasons to agree or disagree on this topic beyond that single belief.

        I apologize if my approach seems insistent that you need to agree with me. I only wanted to explore the topic further, and am happy to discontinue that if the desire is not reciprocated. Farewell.
