All of what you said might be true, but if everything exist simply
because what's to keep god from existing simply because he does. Maybe
god is the flower that brightens your day maybe god IS the flashlight
that keeps the dark at bay. God might be in every one of us, not some
seprate thing to wrench it's will upon us but a natural part of us -
god might be our very identity. Alas we shalt not know untill we enter
serenity. Untill we all have stared at death cold we must wonder if
god is just beyond the threshhold - but for me it's a little more easy
god has been there all along right there in front of me.
