DA, you say that God is a contrivance, or some device cleverly made up. That is not what God is; merely some invention of the human intellect. He is not dead, as Nietzshe (sp?) declared. The flowers blooming their fragrance. The waters meandering down from the mountain, reflecting the sun's rays. This beautiful, green planet, hurtling along an elliptical orbit. Man, conscious of his thoughts, and able to do as he wishes, and subjugate nature, and make creations of his own. All of this -this good Earth- is possible by our very Maker, who sustains our very breath. God, worthy of all praise, the very makeup of this universe.
(excuse my poeticness, anyone who while reading that, saw that literally those descriptions would not be so)
