 I'm not discounting something greater or something spiritual.  Just the god thing... the human-shaped super being that exists everywhere and knows everything and isn't just another name for the universe itself, which people pray to and which the Bible writes about.  I find that belief childish and ridiculous. 
 Makes sense.  
 I changed my mind on that in one specific aspect in the last years:
I now see it as the transcendent human spirit of the greater good. So I think it’s as human-shaped as I can picture a mathematical description of a plane in euclidean space. It’s the best part of the meta-human of the past and the future. 
 I agree on that. God defnitly is not the perfect big brother who watches and judges on us. Because when he would do it, we would have lot of proofe, that he misses a lot of occasions to correct some bad actions.
