I'm who wrote in the Jillete thread that god is merely a concept fabricated in the minds of humans. Concepts don't really exist as real solid things, although they can seem real, "seam" being the operative word. People's concept of god can get all entwined with their concept of me-self. But guess what, self doesn't really exist either as a real solid thing.
