Can you explain the difference between God and atma accordin...

Advaita Vedānta - (Non-duality) God (Paramātma) and the individual Self (jīvātma) are one and the same = identical.

Dvaita Vedānta - (Duality) God and the individual Self are absolutely distinct and separate.

So these verses affirm the identity of God and the Individual Self and there are three views according to the three major schools of Vedānta.

How could NASA possibly land on the moon when it's impossible to reach the moon through the Earth's dome? Why are they making up such an obvious lie?

Krishna sums the relationship up in two verses:-

Bhāti = illumination - consciousness

Asti = being

How should you handle a situation where your friend tells you they like someone who also likes you? Should you tell them or continue as normal?

Visiṣṭhādvaita Vedānta - (Qualified non-duality) They are one but ontologically distinct, like a flower and its smell or like a picture and its pixels.

Priyam = Love.

One may ask which of these three views is correct - well each school argues its case in depth and prolixity. The summary and take away information is that Param-ātma and jīvātma are intimately and inseparably related to each other and share three qualities:-

I'm straight, so why do I love watching guys cum?
