If the righteous ruled, I would not follow you, of that I am certain. I also doubt that you're closer to god than I am, few people are. Very few people can both see the true elegance of the universe that we exist in, because they're too poorly educated. It's not your fault that you can't understand the beauty of creation, but those of us who can are by far closer to the divine than those who cannot. So don't talk yourself up, we both know that your understanding is less than half of mine. Or you might be able to tell me what it was that was created by some of our most stirgent atheists which is among the most elegant aspects of our creator.
