Good. No, I don't insist that universal "God" is an invention of man. But I have never yet encountered a characterization of any God(s) which seemed to me to be the least bit credible. I can, however, imagine the possibility of some sort of creative force--just as others have. "But, she couldn't carry us in the second bout." LOL! on that part :-) It must have felt very good though for both of you to share in a good cause. "As the twig is bent..."

Did you leave any Ben Gay in the store for the other fathers? Or did you hog it all? <g> I agree with you, btw. There are many, many people who would disagree with the proposition that God is just an invention of man. I held that theory myself for a few years in my teenage years, but grew out of it as I gained in wisdom and understanding. God is sort of like freedom. Not everybody believes in either, but those who do believe, or say they believe, in either one can seldom agree on what they mean. There are as many different versions of freedom as there are of religion. That is is so does not mean that either one doesn't exist.
