How would that be received? It isn't likely that we'd just trust him. Instead, the more likely thing would be to demand a lengthy lab examination by scientists from all over, that was recorded and broadcast live, including lots of inquisitive personal requests for proof. That wouldn't be enough for us though, and a series of interviews by media stars like Oprah, Leno, Letterman, Springer, etc. would follow.
Even then, many people would be skeptical, anyway.
Plus, the point of this whole exercise in creating the universe would become meaningless.

don't buy that, it's just a way for people to dodge the question of whether or not god is violent.

Honestly though, why does he NEED us to believe in him? Why should what we believe determine our fate? Why should I goto hell just because I think it's a load of crock? I lead a good life. Haven't commited any crimes n such.
Alot of the miracles in the bible were pretty damn neat, how come we don't see that kinda stuff todayI've even tried the whole praying and asking for a sign... nothing.

God did exercise wrath, mass destruction on HIS creation BECAUSE of what we did to Him. Any of this getting through? *taps the microphone* Hello?

Text Black Hi, uh...totaly new at this but here goes,
The Media tends not to show alot of good on what the christian community does. The fact is christians out number alot of other belifes in America. Though the end times are comming and like the Bible says people will start going down that broad path to hell. Those will be filled with evil. The evil will leave a hole. They see christians as hole and are jealus and hateful for it. They will be suspisius becuase they see us happy and wonder why were not misirable like them. Then Assumptions start. THe rumers spread, and acusations fly. Its in revelations.....there....Did I do ok for my first time? any questions?

If he's all powerfull, then why doesn't he show himself?
Originally posted by Produkt
Why does he tell man not to kill, then contradicts his own law to man and ask's them to do something he's had no problem doing himself before?
