God or Not?

What is your concept of God?

A good view. I have a theory about one’s philosophy of life — that it is
true in so far as it has beauty. That is, a Buddhist monk’s life may be
a thing of beauty. An old farmer’s wife who is a widow and gets up every
morning to feed chickens, milk the cow and tend the garden — may very well
be living a life that is of immense value to society, precious, and a thing
of beauty. A Christian missionary might live a life that is a thing of
beauty. A Muslim woman who toils from sunrise to sundown while
raising several children may live out a life that is a thing of beauty, and
a secular humanist who helps his neighbor pay their rent at a time when they
can’t afford it, and works as a volunteer to save endangered species. All
people with divergent, dissimilar views. But living lives that are a thing
of beauty. All “saved,” in my opinion, and God has no quarrel with people
such as they.
