3:1.4.The creature not only exists in God, but God also lives in the creature. "We know we dwell in him because he lives in us; he has given us his spirit. This gift from the Paradise Father is man's inseparable companion." "He is the ever-present and all-pervading God." "The spirit of the everlasting Father is concealed in the mind of every mortal child." "Man goes forth searching for a friend while that very friend lives within his own heart." "The true God is not afar off; he is a part of us; his spirit speaks from within us." "The Father lives in the child. God is always with us. He is the guiding spirit of eternal destiny."

3:1.5.Truly of the human race has it been said, "You are of God" because "he who dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him."

Urantia is the Final Boss of religious and spiritual texts,
its the Bible on steroids,
the ultimate Gigachad of memebooks

Urantia is free online because it is in the public domain since the 'Conduit' is unknown.

Urantia is their name for Earth, perhaps the book itself could be considered 'revealed religion' but their is no religion perse, I dont think there are any Urantian churches

Basically it propounds monotheism and an advanced trinitarianism, with Jesus basically being the Son of God for this universe, but there are many beings like Jesus in other universes, they are of the same order called Michael Sons.

Its mostly angel stuff rather than aliens

>How much is weird stuff about seven foot tall Nordic-looking men who have lived under mount Shasta since the collapse of Lemuria?
lol there are its moments but it is also very rational and sophisticated regarding history, philosophy, and theology.

That doesn't sound to bad at all. I'm a bit of a gnostic syncretist (Christianity, Pure Land Buddhism, a bit of Taoism) and believe that "Christ" is an equivalent title to "Buddha." God dwells in the immaterial world of the forms and we dwell in the material. God is omniscient and omnibenevolent but not omnipotent, and so is only able to work reach out to us in the material world through occasional miracles and messengers like Christ and Shakyamuni (among others) sent to teach the truth of His love and our salvation in various ways tailored to the different cultures they are born into. I can kind of get behind what the Urantians are saying, if that's actually what they're saying. Does Urantia acknowledge the Old Testament, or does it stick to the Jesus parts of the New?
