Non-literal atheism?
#11
RE: Non-literal atheism?
But we clearly are the earth's source of radically expanding creativity. This goes beyond communicating expression. It's all about our creative problem solving. This without getting into wild metaphors.

If I wanted to drop some metaphoric knowledge I'd tell you we are atomic powered, mind reading, time traveling, flying cyborgs in a global orgy of genius, capable of both divine creation and dark cataclysm.

But ultimately that is a pretty weak metaphor compared to money, the metaphor of labor and resources. Sometimes the truth is nothing but a subtle impression.
