Not to break in here, but I must interject. You say God only exists in the human brain. My o my, what what little confidence you have of the contents of your brain. After all, are not the very perceptions you are experiencing nothing more than the 'content of your brain.?'
And please do not point to satyrs, fauns and purple alligators as reasons to distrust the content of the brain. For what causes these beliefs in the first place? I see many things with my eyes that are not 'as they appear.' Consider St. Augustine's oar in the water that appears bent but is ACTUALLY straight. I would think the same could be said of what the mind, in its most puerile faculty-the imagination, is often subjected to.
