I can think of an apple that literally exists- it is conceptual in my mind, physical in reality. Similarly, in my mind the apple can be a metaphor for something else, but I acknowledge that physically it is another thing entirely.
@EvF: God is actually quite simple, so I would contend your argument that He must be complex.
And, my evidence that God literally exists comes with my understanding of the metaphor- the metaphor's existance is proof of the literal existance, being that the literal is the universe, life, love, and everything here, all of which is a metaphor for God.
Logically, I can't always explain where I see the metaphor, which is why I like coming here because you guys actually challenge me to try harder in seeing it.
