But you don't need God if you already have nature, if it's one thing. If there's no distinction, why do you need God for? You already have nature. I didn't make the distinction. You say, it's hot in here. I think you'd see me. Well, pick your lane here. Which one?

I have a set of values that I live by that guide my life more so than what I believe in is true out in the universe.

No, because those are rules that are religious-based, you know. Now, if your only reasoning for doing that is to please God, then that's the connection that you have. And so once you get rid of that, you say, well, I don't have to please God anymore. If that's how you're viewing it, then fine.
