But when you say "God" is "exerting emotional and behavioral influences on mankind" you're implying a very specific answer, one you have no evidence for.
Do you know anything at all about the history of mankind and mankind’s buildings of temples and cities in the name of God?
Or noticed 'In God we trust' on money?
Have you seen the joy in a person’s face in a church when they have prayed?
No evidence? The evidence of the influence on this mystery called "God" on mankind is so bold and evident you can only ignore it to not see it.
I know that man has built buildings for many reasons.
God does not back the value of the money. What actually backs the money is the trust in the full faith and honor of the US Government.
And I was in the generation that had to relearn the pledge 'cause they stuck God in, so know the history of it.
Seen the joy on someone face when they get a job, meet a lover, taste a new food, get a 'brain freeze'?
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
