My thoughts in a nutshell:
- There is a Creator
- The Creator is a hella cool sort
- There's a big purpose to all of this (I don't know what it is)
- But exact things that happen aren't all "part of the plan", just stuff that happens, as much as whatever happens between bacteria as you eat a piece of food has very little to do with your plan of eating
- You can go through life not knowing or not caring about it, and the purpose still gets fulfilled (you get what you're supposed to, whatever it is)
- And all the whoo-hah about everything else is pretty much people's invention and using the idea of God to abuse each other.
