Correct. :)

A child is crossing a bridge under intense smog. He sees a vulture and asks:
- Dad?
- I'm not your father, but you're my son.
Who's the vulture?

God is not the answer to this riddle.

Perhaps true-love?

Here's another one;

I build up castles.
I tear down mountains.
I make some men blind,
I help others to see.
What am I?

Sand. You can build sandcastles, mountains erode into sand, eyeglasses are made out of the same material as sand, and you can't see very well in a sandstorm.

Fake money. May also apply to fake artwork.

When young, I am sweet in the sun.
When middle-aged, I make you gay.
When old, I am valued more than ever.

EDIT: Or negative numbers. Of course, both of these could be argued as not fitting.

Here's three more:

1: Red as blood, but sweet as wine. What am I?

2: I touch the earth, I touch the sky. If you touch me, you'll surely die. What am I?

3: A sturdy back, legs four. I once lived, but now no more. What am I?

For a better hint, please ask.
