What God is to the Universe is what your mind is to your body
#48
RE: What God is to the Universe is what your mind is to your body
Quote: “Mater, the Latin word for “mother,” has given rise to the word “matter”….

The Latin word for “father,” pater, gave rise to... “pattern.”

Thus, [our circumstances] can be seen as coming from both a mother and father, the mating of
matter + pattern.”

— A Beginner’s Guide to Constructing the Universe

As I have just demonstrated pretty comprehensively, using a non-biased resource purely on the subject of etymology (which you brought up), that is not true.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
