Posters I ask this of you now so don't come at me later in the thread with some nonsense about "mythology" (when god and mythology are not even the same word... not really--- that's strange huh?) or "nonexistant".
Give a clarification about the word God not in the sense of a term, but a word that you must describe your feelings about.
If God were a term I am asking you to define what this term means to you. You may state "non existant" or "mythology" but not in the sense that you are failing to explain your feelings about the term.
humans create words to describe everything just like humans create religions to explain everything . words are important to communicate concepts to other humans thats all any word is .
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
