because he's either a pantheist god (like gaia) or one of those gods that create something but never give a damn about it again... of course the christian god is a bit more of a nuisance than that, but maybe they're just wrong?

This has been asked many times during the time when you were gone... yes, I'm referring to the hardly spelled town (Chernobyl in English?) near the border of Belarussia in my signature.

Because 10 years after he did nobody would believe he did and people would ask this same question again. So what's the point?

Consider the following hypothetical situation:
You have been an atheist, humanist and pacifist for the whole 20 years of your lifetime. Suddenly, while you're asleep, this god, which you were referring to, shows up in the room where you are. He orders you to rob the nearest gun shop with a kitchen knife, and then kill as many people as you can. Then, god disappears.

What do you do?

So why dosent he do it :?


1. Cause He has better things to do.

2. Cause all the different religions would argue over his "greeting" to prove that their religion is the only one true religion.

3. Cause He usually works more subtle.

4. Cause He knows that in the end, everyone comes to Him anyway so He'll just wait.

I'm not. I understand that your comment was just a friendly hint, but I... think, that there'll be no grave consequences (sp?) from a simple signature.
