I want to clarify the text from the Bible, so that atheist may know the Truth.  Man is obliged to acknowledge God out of gratitude and out of respect for his own intelligence.  Gratitude - He has lowered His Spiritual Essence to provide for the coarse necessities of man's flesh and blood, and He gives the heat of the sun, the relief of water, corn, vines, and all kinds of trees and all races of animals.
