	Many people have problems with the concept of God because their
concept is a remnant of their childhood, i.e., is unsophisticated.
Nietzsche may be among those. To hyperbolize, God is probably not an old man
with a white beard. Possibly, He symbolizes absolute goodness and perfection,
and rather than stifling creativity, as Nietzsche thought, He inspires man
to better himself. That is why He has a following. True, wars have been
fought in His name, but I think my first statement accounts for that.

	I would appreciate receiving from the net ideas and opinions
concerning Who or What God is or isn't. Please write to me via mail at:

	I will be glad to summarize.
