The question is this, how should I understand these statements? How could I? Are your relationships so different from mine as to include this business with god -as- a relationship? It's just that, to me.....one of these things is not remotely like the other, so if even one of them is a relationship we're going to need a different word for the other..
yes its definately different than a relationship you would have with another human but do you think a relationship to a diety would be just like a relationship to another human ? God is not human and is not in a visible form so why would it be ? it would have to be completely different , another person could not visually witness it .
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today 
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one - John Lennon
