Subject: Re: 'god' as surrogate self
'God' is a placeholder for an absence of understanding – a default response to unanswered questions.

If god is seen as universal experience – endless quarks to boundless cosmic exuberance – I can get with that, though I prefer to label it as 'nothing', or perhaps 'vacuum', rather than to conflate it with a finitely discriminated otherwise presumed omnipotent 'god'.
