A Vowel=1=god?
a: The vowel ~
b: a one placed in front of the zeros
What: "Because no sounds can be made without vowels. All the other letters are useless without vowels. All the other consonants are like "so many zeros" and the vowel is like "a one placed in front of the zeros." We cannot exist without God - in the same way that sound cannot exist without a vowel. Consonants do exist, but their exists is dependant upon their relationship to a vowel. In the same way, you and I really do exist, but our existence is dependant upon our relationship to God. Because God exists, we exist."
