I picture God as everything, Brahma. I used to doubt God because the idea that nothing could exist-no planets, no light, no space or time,nothing-is impossible. More and more I find to be an unpragmatic approach. It does exist and we are here. God, to me, is energy. It creates all things, it remembers things, it forms connections and it is constantly reshaping "creation" which is really just a chemical reaction in 4 (or however many) dimensional space.
The salvation, penance, charity, etc, it's all just iterations of each of us shaping, consciously and unconsciously, subjective and consensus reality. It's homage to the fact that we are all connected, one infinitely entangled web of individuals and minerals veering to and from our ultimate goal of safety, prosperity and happiness for all of us.
It's a metaphor that Bitcoin helped me to see because suddenly we have intrinsically aligned interests. I want BTC to build my wealth and I want you to have BTC so that we have coincidence of needs and a common medium of exchange. If God didn't exist, it seems like we would never be able to converge on a single mechanism for collective betterment, and if he does exist, nothing could stop us from reaching this point in history.
Bitcoin was inevitable, and the fact that it didn't get strangled in the crib is a testament to that idea. The most powerful technology very naturally coheres with the most powerful force of nature, God.
Meanwhile, the Bible always seemed scarce in my mind because it never laid out the most effective form of governance. The fact that Jesus only got violent against the lenders in the temple, against the most insidious form of corruption which is so violently corrupting men's souls today tells me he knew exactly the dangers which tells me the divine was truly working that day and to this day.
