I believe in God in the sense that there is an overall intelligence of which all things seen and unseen are a manifestation of thought from this mind itself.
Such a great intelligence desires us to grow spiritually and at some point in time evolutionize to the point of becoming the great mind itself from which we came in the first place. We are here on Earth as there are many civilizations scattered throughout the universe as a school of learning by realization.
It is not a concern of God what church we belong to or whom we may have had sex with but what we gather from our existence.
On a level of being righteous, it is possible, through realizations, for a murderer on death row to be higher spiritually than the priest who teaches mass every Sunday but has a closed mind that prevents him from any epiphany that would advance him.
Unfortunately most people who commit heinous crimes resort to reading the Bible and becoming religious not for any advancement spiritually but hoping to be forgiven for their crime so realistically they do not care that they have committed the crime only to find the easy way out by being forgiven.
Fortunately, in the scheme of things it just does not work that way.
