So what if God is a chemical construct in my brain that centuries of evolution worked to create so that humanity wouldn't be paralyized by the understanding of its own mortality.
I like the idea that my dad is in heaven. I like the idea that my children have souls and potential for great things. In the long run that is all I need.
