But does it simplify existance? I think it complicates it beyond any hope of understanding because we know potentially how much we don't know.

Do we need to be lulled into false states of morality, justice, unity and cooperation by inventing a god and writing a comprehensive narrative about good and evil? If so why? Did feeble men come up with a very clever strategy to subdue powerful men who got all the women and the best mastodon meat by inventing guilt and morality?

Or is there an abstract truth that we will never grasp and yet are gradually drawn to it like moths to light?

We are using a brain that functions in a physical universe of relative states and yet we wish to drag the infinite into the mix and it simply makes little sense when we do. That of course does not mean that infinite states do not exists. It just means that they are beyond the senses or the capacity of a finite brain.

God is important because It is the ultimate reality of which we are a fragment. Simplicity is living and dying like an animal without consequence.

Expand

a god is the answer as we do not need to know

thus it simplifies the unknown.

not sure how the last sentence is a link to being in a state of simplification

(prob the difference (between two HCers) in the use of the verb: simplify)
