A supernatural being that is there right from the beginning without any explanation whatsoever for its existence (it's 'just there' or it 'created itself' or whatever) that creates an entire universe, is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent - all without explanation - is about as complex a thing as I can think of. How is that simple?
Quote: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.
How does using the universe as a 'metaphor for God' give evidence for God's literal existence?

Who cares what you 'feel' about the matter, personal credulity/incredulity is not a rational reason to believe in the existence of something.
