So, in relation to God's existence, we have ontological priority?

Ought world views optimize human happiness at the expense of ignoring or faking reality?

If you don't know, you better ask somebody.

Come now Scribs. This is a subjective question. How would you define this objectively, since each person's reality is defined by his/her experiences? Democratic consensus?

Er... this was meant as "god" -- in all shapes and sizes.
