That might account as sort of a weak evidence for someone to be intrigued about it and dedicates some time and effort to read and think about the concept before rejecting it. That's all. I think there is no other point in all that I said. I don't know what God is, but that mere word is the thing that has brought us here, isn't it?
No, it doesn't. That it could even be expressed in that sentence is troubling to say the least (and you're also committing an argument ad populum fallacy. If all but 1 of the 7 billion people in the world believes 2+2=5, they're still wrong). It shows zero critical thinking. You don't start with the assumption of sky woo. You start with what's here and is observable and testable. If you find a mystery, you wonder what the solution to the mystery is, maybe even try to find it. You don't make up a name for it and ascribe any number of attributes to it.
You are absolutely right. That might was a reference to people who cannot "see" what you are saying. No matter how much they try, they feel somehow troubled not to go after some kind of delusion. I might be of this kind. I'm trying to get rid of the delusion, actually trying the belief to get rid of it. You see you have look very carefully to see that all that there is are shadows, there is no one following you. So you can go on in peace. I tried many other ways, none of the worked. I always felt I'm somehow troubled, so I decided to give a try and do the leap of faith to jump into the belief and cut it's head and return to live peacefully.
