Is 'the Universe' a euphemism for God?

Only losers worship anything, smart people work to leave the world better than they found it, and if a benevolent God actually exists those people will be the ones best regarded by that God.
Quoting: Manu-Koelbren Regarded well maybe, but not close, as in a familial relationship. Worship has acquired a distasteful tone, in this age of human-as-god but it is an amazing emotion that in action, lifts one out of the ordinary. Familial relationship? that's the kind of thing you expect of God, and then you say that people can't grasp what God really is, well you're a living example of that. You're just projecting your own human needs onto a mental fabrication of yours. If it makes your life any better go ahead, but don't go around preaching as if that was some sort of absolute truth, it's just your imagination making you feel a bit better about your own fragility and human emotional needs. Sorry if I stepped on your toes Manu, I like your posts. I'm not saying I can grasp what God really is either, I don't think anyone can. I have spent a lifetime communicating with Him though, and in doing that, it is is impossible to deny His existence. If you've never tried it, you can't know. I know life's hard and people have a need to believe in something to make it through, but I am sorry, I can't tolerate wild claims for things that have no basis in provable reality. I am sure this universe had an origin and things seem to be structured in a too orderly fashion to be random, but from there to conceive some being who you have to worship to be able to attain some familial relationship with him there's a long stretch. I stick to what I said, if you want to worship the creator work to make creation better, all your beliefs amount to nothing if you don't
