re: #232 Gretchen G.Tiger

Here we get into semantics again. G-d as a definition of the whole of creation—or god as a sky king.

1st definition would encompass the doctors and all who somehow came together to help cure disease. (I Pencil and all that). Some mythical being —Santa’s buddy—not so much, IMHO.

I get what you’re saying, but can’t really agree with it. Partly because most people don’t take that sort of bigger-picture view on the whole shebang.

People helping people is one of humanity’s strengths and is something we should take credit for, and not hand it off to some spiritual construct.
