  1. I really like Spinoza's ideas about God, and mine are very similar. I believe that God is the Multiverse, i.e., our universe and all other possible universes, i.e., all logically consistent mathematical structures (Max Tegmark's level-4 multiverse). As such, God doesn't really do anything, but we're all part of Him. But I also believe in spirits, i.e. conscious beings like us, and that spirits have free will to make decisions, which ultimately guides them through the Multiverse. Thus, the key to living a good life is to exercise our free will in the right way, i.e., to make decisions that benefit both ourselves and everyone else as much as possible, which I would call being good. But according to my definition, God doesn't care what any of us does since whatever we could possibly do is already part of Him. So the takeaway from all this is that God doesn't care what we do, but WE should!
