Why bother?

Some things don't need 'splainin'.

Is it a matter of 'why bother' or just something that cannot be explained because there is no evidence for existence? I say the latter.

God cannot be literally described or explained as in a literal or actual God because 'God' is just an idea cooked up in the human mind. Consequently, all we have is a contradictory collection of ideas that some folks take literally, being convinced that this or that idea about God happens to be true and factual information.

Especially if it's something written by the ancients in what we call holy books, imagining authority or privaliged information where none exists, just ideas that people believed and wrote about.
