God is not a belief.
The Holy and the Quest for the Holy are innate. We cannot view the world without using the prism of the Spirit. Who taught mankind the science of agriculture? It was a visionary experience, re-enacted in Ritual, and re-told in Story and Song. Who taught our hands in the ways of mining and quarrying, to seek metals far beyond our sight and hidden within the earth?
Where there was at first no Science, the Vision of the Holy was our only guide.
Now we have two guides, and we ignore both of them.

Killer final sentence. Bravo!
Who taught us to paint, make music, dance, write poems?
Thanks.
I think it sums up the pseudo-controversy of Science vs. Religion: our innate paganism would kill both of 'em off. It'd shoot 'em daid!
