This is an interesting question, that I think many people have pondered. I think part of the problem is that God is too often associated with organized religion, which is fear based. Organized religion has one believing that we are human with a soul that needs to be save. But what if you are a soul having a human experience?

Adopting this point of view was a game changer for me. It made me realize that what happens to me is part of an experience. It is an opportunity for my soul to learn while having a human experience.
