| But He is real But He and His kind are genuine people, bui. They are genuine ethereal entities who think and communicate and act and not the product of an overstimulated imagination.
We corporeal entities sometimes make the mistake of equating religion with morality. Morality is an invention of humanity, and it has its roots in jealousy, envy, greed, hate, lust, all the seven deadly sins etc. which are manifestations of human emotions and behaviours. The spiritual domain is above that, and the state of being of those virtually immortal entities who dwell there is so high above ours that it doesn't really matter what happens here. If we were overrun with hostile aliens who engaged in war with us and destroyed all of us then so be it. If we were able to save ourselves from such a holocaust, then so be it. In proving ourselves worthy we might some day attain the status of those spiritual beings, but we really are so petty in comparison that it defies definition. That is us compared to those real, living, cognizant and miraculous entities who occasionally provide us with the inspiration to continue evolving and growing and getting better because when all is said and done, life is a precious thing after all and because of the colossal scope of this entire Universe, yet prolific, but still rare.
