Is God an "Imaginary Friend" for Adults?

Well might a shadow say the sun is imaginary. The sun will forever remain unseen as long as the shadow remains a shadow, even though its very existence is only possible because the sun exists.

Shadows might well fear the light and cling to darkness and proclaim:

But those who have left the shadowlands and have experience the sun know that:

“Atheism is a fairy tale for those afraid of the light.”  John Lennox
