So you agree with me? no matter no what , there is only the one god that moves through all things right?

So you are powerless to do anything about "your sins" , you have to ask someone else for guidance? Is that it?
creator, what can you do to make that right, that He will accept? He made a way for us to

flesh did what He did for us?

Most all of us feel the impulse - there is more going on than just atoms bouncing around. I just said physics does not explain everything.
