If God is a comfort, he’s more luxurious than fine silk or Egyptian cotton.

If God is an invention, he’s more innovative than the wheel or the lightbulb or the iPod.

If God is a phantom, he’s more alluring than the girl of my dreams.

If God is a concept, he’s more fantastic than democracy or capitalism or social networking.

If God is a measure of control, he’s a better authority than a king or a politician or a scholar or a boss.

If God is an emotion, he makes me feel more alive than any earthly passion.

If God isn’t real, then he’s more real than reality. I’d rather die living a fantasy than live dying for nothing.
