Who is God?
God is a mythological supernatural being imagined by man to fill in the gaps to the questions about the universe and humanity that man himself has been unable to answer. One who believes in this mythical god is comforted by convincing himself that “it must be god’s doing” to any question the man does not have an answer for. This “catch all” answer allows a believer the freedom of not having to think or figure out things for themselves. Rather then labeling unknowns as “unknown,” a believer will label these things as “god’s doing.”
As science uncovers new evidence to explain the unknowns, the gaps where god used to be assigned are closed. However, because believers become dependent on the convenience of god, they often dispute new evidences so to allow their belief in god to continue on.

Travis why all the Albanian designs and what not?

7h1m0, A good friend of mine is Albanian and he knows I’m a designer, so he asked if I would redesign the Albanian Eagle and other designs using my style. I agreed.

Awareness becomes more limitless the way you find poetic inspiration the spiritual source of motivation. I’m so lucky my dad said, “Don’t let religion get in the way of spirituality.” Being into words, god is good, I always liked “guide”, but human form limits the power of creativity. Your evolution makes you a god to me, but this style has gotten a little dark.

To explain even the pattern of a snowflake baffles the mind …and I have found that
the great mathmatician has designed the principles for all the cosmic workings
without a religion tag…break the laws I have found there is a price to pay…so then
what does keep things in order!
I. THE PRINCIPLE OF MENTALISM.
II. THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT.
III. THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION.
IV. THE PRINCIPLE OF POLARITY.
V. THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM.
VI. THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE.
VII. THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER,

hi Travis.
I’m actually on the other side of this debate, but I think you would like Dr. Michael Shermer, editor of Skeptic magazine. I’ve seen him speak several times and he is fascinating.
I actually came to your site because I have a company called Aces & Ink and did a Google image search to get inspired and found your inkblot artwork fascinating.
Keep up the good work!
Sean

Hi Travis, here is my rambling, hope you could bear it. :D
We as a human being are driven by the conscience, the conscience which stops us to do bad things. The feelings of kindness,compassion,belief,peace,non violence,etc…. these are the things which help us to recognize ourselves in many ways.. I think doing good,being good, that good part is actually God.
The forces/things/mysteries we see/read, unanswered/unsolved by the modern scientists,researchers.. do not necessarily means that there is no God. God wouldn’t do some magical firework things out of there, it’s part of him, that we feel every day, every where. I firmly believe and feel the sensation that he’s watching us all the time. And, you know, that really helps me to be a better person,normal person without shame and any guilt.
And, every scientific disclosure on the previously held mystery for human kind is no way going to change my perception. I wouldn’t take things that way.
If astronomers couldn’t see beyond the transcendent universe, that doesn’t imply that it’s the play of GOD. Even if some day, they find some facts about the universe and it’s boundary, I’ll be still believing about good things.
and the things i discussed with my class ,actually, I ended with “All criminals are Atheist whereas not all Atheists are criminals ”
