The reasons for my atheistic views do not include a rigorous proof that your god doesn't exist, it thus necessarily follows that i envy your god???

You actively preach to support atheism, and you have not one nano speck of proof that God is non existant.
A gentleman may not know of God, but he will not actively promote atheism, but he will remain neutral, because he admits he does not know.
But you are proud of your scientific learning, but without God there would be no world, or you, or anything to scientifically study.

Jnana yoga is the stepping stone, because when you become situated in knowledge through the process of Jnana, you realize with the knowledge youve aquired that the goal of life is to love God with pure devotion, ....and since bhakti is the path of devotion it must be the top most.

Hell is the past 6,000 yrs. of man's making due to sin (ignorance, which is WHY there IS darkness).. Hell is pain, sickness, disease, death, these all are qualities to it's creation, it's building , which is man's captivity, and Peter's RESPONSIBILITY to overcome it all!
Matthew 16:1-21 (King James Version)
18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Hell IS a realm that has been for 6,000 yrs. Hell began the moment the separation began with mankind and their maker..
Hell IS to be swallowed up (death swallowed up unto victory, AGAIN), setting free all souls, being ONLY in full reflection to the CREATOR of Life, and Love, being Life IS LOVE.. What cometh not by observation, but IS within all, IS Heaven, being all there ever has been, and for 6,000 yrs. we have SEPARATED our knowing this, due to our learned ignorance that has parted us from US, the TRUE US.
In my, yours, everyone's, FATHER's, (MOTHER, representing LOVE, and Father, STRENGTH) House THERE ARE many many many Mansions (Galaxies, Universes, Realms, Dimensions)...

"19: Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, are cast by Me into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life."
lmao...so I'm a frickin demon then!!! 🙄
The bad news for you vishva is that demons can be taken down by magic weapons+3 or higher. It takes +5 weapons to deal with us atheists. You'll also need the magic missile spell. 😵
*edit* oh, and you need to be lvl 13 or higher.
feel free to correct me if my D&D lore is inaccurate btw :]

What tradition do you follow? What do you think of Advaita? How would you characterize Brahman?
Advaita vedanta is basically an impersonal teaching by Shankara and believes that the highest truth is that we are all God (but dont know it)
It is true that the individual soul may enter into brahman (merge) if that is their desire, but its not considered the highest truth.
The highest truth is that the individual soul may have an eternal personal relationship with God ( Sri Bhagavan) and not loose its individual identity.
After death and being liberated from Maya the Advaita vedanta says that the soul looses its identity and becomes one with Braman eternally, but this is not correct.

Impersonal merging can be achieved but in comparison to the dynamic nature of the soul it does not ultimately forefill the soul, as does the position of relationship and lila (activity)
The part thats not correct, is that the soul that does merge with Brahman, does not stay merged eternally, because the soul yearns for relationship and ultimately departs from the Bramhan.
