Actually, I didn't miss the point. However it's been my experience that most people don't see God in the way you've presented. People can't let go of a concept they didn't believe in the first.
But psychologically, isn't it important for the human race @ this juncture to let go of the repressive, authoritarian Father-GOD figure and embrance the uncertainity of self-sufficiency (for want of a better term for it...)?
