I cannot conceive of existence without a primary force that is beyond human comprehension. God is one God for Jews, Zoroastrians, Christians, Muslims, etc.. So far I can't quite get my mind around Hinduism or Buddhism.
My views are independent of any religion (I think), even though I study the English language versions of the bible. There is not enough life left for me to learn the original languages so I guess I end up with my own basdardised version.
Apparently according to Mohammed the Koran is only to be read in fifth century Arabic so that ain't going to happen either. That kinda' makes me wonder about non-Arabic speaking Muslims. How the heck did they get there?
The only bright light defining human existence seems to be conception, so that is where the line must be drawn.
I am an advocate of the Christian concept of Devine grace. In my mind morality is defined by the golden rule. We are told Jesus of Nazareth summed it up that we should love one another. That seems to work pretty well for me so I think we should do all we can to protect each life as best we can.
God chooses whether there is an continuing existence both before we were human and after. If he does choose it, then he also chooses whether or not we are a part of it.
I have never experienced a Devine revelation but I keep thinking this voice inside my head isn't mine.
Seems pretty simple.
Back to the ballgame.
