It is human self aggrandizement to think that a human-like persona could do a better job of producing all of nature than all of nature does producing and reproducing itself at every moment, in every detail. Nature can be defined as all that exists and all that occurs naturally. Humans are a small part of nature falling within the definition.		4
The original sin was inventing God. All other sins are rooted in belief in the confidence scam named God. Sin can be defined as an act against God, but since there is no god other than the scam named God, then there can be no sin		3
Nature provides proof that it creates and recreates itself, not that a human-like persona or other type of God is required to create it.		3

"When all is said and done, the state's duty to protect every person's freedom of conscience and religion means that it may not use its powers in such a way as to promote the participation of certain believers or non-believers in public life to the detriment of others." --Canada Supreme Court http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/1875528/mouvement-laique-quebecois-v-saguenay.pdf		1
