Existence is subjective... 'God' exists as something 'real and tangible' in the mind of a Christian... to me he is but a ridiculous idea.
Some people may think me to exist as the queen of the universe... I might think myself to exist as but a pathetic worm at the mercy of the elements... to some creator who might think of me as just another character in a video game... to a rock that does not think about 'me' at all: Reality is based upon point of view.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
