On Nontheist Conceptions of the Ground of Being

God does not exist
        like a rock exists
        but God is my sure foundation.

God does not exist
        like a tree exists
        but God is life.

God does not exist
        like I exist
        but God was a man.

God does not exist
        like the number three exists
        but God is one.

God does not exist
        like love exists
        but God is love.

God is.
