The rock and the neutrino are aspects of God, just as the human is.

It's like asking "Rap is music, is music rap?" Well, no. But music encompasses rap.

God is a personification of some aspect or aspects of Nature; a psychological convenience. It puts us into a familiar and comforting parent-child relationship.

Complete artifice, of course. But the vast majority of people are only in Kohlberg's stage II of moral development, and probably need such a crutch.

Do you see God in Nature?

ER NO!! YOU CANNOT SEE SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST!

When I look at nature I see nature! That is all anyone can see.

Against my better instincts, I see god in everything. The branches of a tree, the vastness of the Pacific ocean, the heartbeat of another human being scream to me that there is a spiritual connection in all of us. In truth, the idea that it is all inconsequential and meaningless makes me sad. The only real truth I can find in this life is that I am my own god.

I see things that don’t exist all the time. It’s called imagination and I highly recommend it.

Nothing wrong with imagination. I just wish theists would accept that they are imagining the existance of their god(s)

Not true,God is beyond our imaginations,He is self sustaining.Are you saying that if we stopped imagining Him,he would not exist?
