Close, but really it is saying that "beauty" is in the eye of the beholder...

We don't need fear as protection. Common sense works just fine, as does learning from experience. I don't fear a stove burner turned on high but I sure as hell am not going to put my hand on it. (Oh, please amend that "sure as hell" part).

I get a chuckle out of it because it simply highlights how the concept of god really only exists in each individual's mind. There is no definitive god, just a bunch of people filling in the gaps of a piss poor collection of Iron Age tales on their own.
Yes, it is the concept that causes the issue...not the thing itself. The thing itself can't cause an issue because it is not a concept/thought/idea. BTW strike-through the words "The thing" and "it".
