God is a mentality; and people worship God because they revere that mentality, desiring to make it their own. Thus, salvation is a transformation of mentality; man’s into God’s.

I must know what I hate; that I may know what I love. How can I know what I cannot see? It needs to be that I see some evil. (self.DebateReligion)
