Let me know when someone uses anything other than the tool of Imagination for God.
According to yoga philosophy this universe is the imagination of God but at the same time is all real for those who play the role in his imagination.
Very hard to believe but you never know what is real and what is not.
What a surprise would be if one day you will have to face this God?
He may say to you ............. you cheeky boy.....you thought you could live outside my imagination eh!

There are many things that simply cannot be explained or understood by our human minds. For example: the universe is seemingly endless, but there is no reasonable explanation available (and I do mean NONE) for this fact. And that is only one of many thousands of mysteries that will most likely never be solved by the human mind. The answers most likely exists on a level we don't have the capacity for.
For that reason, I don't rule out the possibility that a higher power (or something) is responsible our existence. To qualify that, however, I don't necessarily think the common perception of a "god" applies. Most people view "god" not only as something they can understand, but also as something similar to themselves. For that reason, I think the god that exists for most people is some ego driven fantasy of themselves in perfect form. The title and purpose of people's religion isn't nearly as important to them as the fact that they are a part of it, which alone validates the religion, it's beliefs, and it's practices.
This explains why almost every version of god that human beings have invented is interactive with and invested in the human struggle. People do not truly believe that they need god, they believe that god needs them, and they are simply being saintly to oblige him.
That god, for me, can be completely ruled out.
There is no reason to believe that we are important on any cosmic level.
What most people think does not really worry me so much.
What worry me is rather to progress toward the goal of life and to reduce the distance day after day.
As i already said in previous post it is important to have the desire to go ahead and in order to do this one should not put obstacles that prevent the progress.
Dogmas or false truth are the main problem so it is very important not to create any.
Marx in order to destroy the dogma of capitalism create the dogma of communism.
Atheist in order to destroy the religious dogmaS create materialism and this go against human nature which purpose is to expand away from materialism.
