God is a Metaphor

Here's a quick read entitled God is a Metaphor.

    Rather than saying that God created human beings, it might be more appropriate to say that human beings created the image of God and that God's image appears as a metaphor in different mythologies all over the world.

In this short essay, Canadian author, Dr. Khalid Sohail, fluently and articulately puts God in "His" proper place. I have to say that I couldn’t agree more. Via the Secular Web.

What was it?

Oh yeah, I think John Lennon wrote a song about God, with the very important line:

"God is a concept, by which we measure all things"

Short, sweet, and simple. From ancient cultures, right up to the present, it really can't be said any more succinctly or effectively than that.
