If God is a lie,

it is no more of a lie than the "truths" we base our lives upon:

the stories, the tools, the systems,

all as a collaborative manifestation,

yet we can only see what reverberates in the tangible,

from all the intangibility.

If God were a lie,

nature wouldn't cure

or aid in alleviating suffering.

If God were a lie,

we couldn't explain inspiration

or falling in love,

or the beauty of pearly shimmering snow,

of crisp waves of ocean blue,

or fungi.

If God were a lie,

the height of the pyramids wouldn't be the speed of light,
