There is something about consciousness so improbable and awe inspiring that I reach for an idea like God. If I actually saw what was in front of me I might collapse from the wonder of it. I don't believe in God, but I don't understand what is meant by God. If God is the first cause, then that is what people with our level of mind might need, because we need to explain things and say what caused what. Since I don't understand God I don't understand atheism and materialism either. There is a lot in Christianity I do like, but it's mainly the art and the literature (Ecclesiastes), rather than the theology.
