30. I don't know what they meant, except...
that they didn't specify. And they didn't say THE creator, or A creator, but MY creator. I know who created ME and that was MY PARENTS!

You can believe whatever you want, that's the beauty. They worded it in such way as to cover the natural as well as the supernatural. I wouldn't say "the energy that connects us all to the universe." Because that has no meaning. If you want to say God, then call it God.

You see, how beautiful that phrase is, they left the interpretation open. You don't have to think my parents created me, you can think I sprung from the head of Zeus, or was farted out by the Great Turtle. Nevertheless, I can claim my inalienable rights.

I can name quite a few creators, Bach, Picasso, Edison, Jefferson, etc. Gods? To some, maybe.
