Quote:God exists but not as a being. He's a personified metaphor for goodness and truth.

If God is just a metaphor he cannot think as metaphors cannot think. If he is a metaphor then he is no more real than an allusion, a plot-line of a fictional story, a simile or a myth.

"the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate" (1 Cor. 1:19)
