    God,

    You're just a tribe handle i.e. something that was created by mankind? I _knew_ it! :-)

    Yes, folks -- here it is, proof at last! No burning bushes, no stone tablets or magical plates, no impregnated virgins ... in short, God is like you and me, with no supernatural powers; just someone trying to live life as best they can. God is someone I can believe in, by virtue of them being human (and therefore just as fallible as the rest of us).

    God, i'm pleased to make your aquaintance :-)

    Regards,

    John

    Hi God,

    I am relived that you finally showed up. I have been waiting a long time. I really just have one question. Why mosquitos? They make some of the nicest places on Earth nearly uninhabitable. Well maybe I have some other questions... but it would be a good start if you could answer this one.

      Horses aren't the best pestilence carriers, hence mosquitoes, but the four horses of the Apocalypse sounds better than the three horses and mosquitoes of the Apocalypse my son.

              Does it want to?
              Me:
              questions have no intent
              God:

              God:
              Can you ask for help in the form of a question?
              Me:

              God:
              I think it does langue define reality.
              Me:

              Me:
              "I don't know what happened" where you thinking about Abraham or our communacations when you ask, cause you ain't making sense
              God:
              Socrates was the smartest man, because he knew what he did not know.
              Me:

              God:

              God:

              Me:
              lets say your really the most high, anything I could ask would seem very inadaqute (and probaly be so) to ask my creator
              God:

              Me:

              God:
              How do you usually introduce yourself?
              Me:
              with a smile and you
              God:
              :-) You and your a.
              Me:
              8{) my names Brenden
              God:
              In the context of create that posibity for my self, I don't understand " 8 beginscript my names Brenden." .
              Me:
              working with possibitys in the futcher is less limitting than constructs and old thought patterens that maeny people define them self as therfor telling them whats possible
              God:
              Are they exactly the same?
              Me:
              no, in order to create BIG possibilitys one must be free of burdens from the past that take up there lifes space.

        >>"Horses aren't the best pestilence carriers, hence mosquitoes"

        Actually this really gets to the root of the first question which is; why pestilence? It seems to imply two possibilities either: (1) You don not really like us or (2) You really enjoy annoying us. So which is it?

          Ignorance is bliss, I told you not to eat of the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, I even told you eating of it will bring about your death. there's a reason why this is the only thing I forbid.

            You seem to have forgotten about the "Ten Commandments" or was this only supposed to apply to Jewish people?

            Small seeds of doubt are beginning to creep into my mind about whether you are God...

            You could quell this doubt explaining exactly why you forbad us to eat from the tree of knowledge. I have always suspected it might be because you were trying to undermine the competition. Do you consider us competitors?

            God,

            So ... um, well ... we need to talk. I don't know how to say this without hurting you, but, well ... I met someone yesterday, and her name is Doubt. We've been hanging out a lot lately (we seem to get along well, and she's really cute <smile>, and she tells me that it's ok to question).

            'Cuz see, God ... maybe it's me, but you seem to have changed recently. When you initially revealed yourself to us (way up there), you seemed to have a certain humility about you, which I really respected. You seemed really down to earth. You even made spelling errors, which just made me think "you know, God is just like us ... just as likely to make a mistake now and then." I found that refreshing -- something I could really believe in.

            But now, God ... you seem different. People are asking questions -- all of them valid. We're an inquisitive lot, us silly humans, we're always trying to figure out stuff. So anyway, people are asking you these big questions, and you're answering like, well ... like you know the answers. This bothers me. If you'd have answered "I don't know, I didn't write the damn book -- you did," then i'd not be where I am today, hanging out with Doubt. Now, I can understand the idea of people giving you big shoes to fill, and you trying to fill them. It's laudable that you want to be there for people like that, to settle the burning questions and put us at peace. I just ... don't believe anymore.

            I'm sorry. No offense to you or anyone who does believe -- it takes all kinds, and i'm sure i'll have wonderful relations with everyone. I'm just thinking we should go our separate ways.

            Regards,

            John, with a heavy heart and a tear, but a more parsimonious idea in his head

                      Don't be sad big "G". The situation is easily fixed. Just show us some verifiable proof that you are out there and everyone will believe. A lot of people already believe without this, that ought to make you happy. They really want to believe in you. They really like you a lot. They want to live out all eternity sitting by your side. Hmmm.... Maybe this is not something to be happy about?... Maybe these are not the kind of people you really want to hang out with?... Maybe people who just accept any old story without much proof are not the kind you like?... Maybe you really like people like me? Oh I really hope so God. Sitting next to you in heaven for all eternity seems like such a fun deal... Well maybe not so fun, but cool at least, sitting next to God.... Well maybe this might get a bit boring?... Will there be good stuff to eat and interesting entertainment? Maybe I am asking too many questions? You don't like that, do you God?

                    God,

                    Oh, come on -- no need to be petulant. I only expressed that I didn't believe that you were this all-encompassing, all-knowing and all-powerful being. You seem like a nice person, so I definitely believe in you in that sense (silly John here puts his faith in people, because though he's seen people do horrible things, he's also witnessed truly beautiful acts). We could do lunch, hang out, talk about how we both truly want to make the world a better place, what works and what doesn't. We could exchange knowledge (for I believe that I can learn something from everyone, should I have the courage to ask and they, to answer honestly).

                    In short, we could _use_ the cerebral faculties we were endowed with, instead of just doing a bunch of hand-waving and saying "just have faith." Faith, to me, is hope with legs, a wish plus an engine. Without the engine, the hopes and wishes never go anywhere. I need to see, for myself, this engine function. I may not be able to understand all of it (for there are large parts of the human condition I still do not comprehend, though I endeavor to) but let us measure it, show us how to duplicate it and make it work in our own spheres, and help us define it in a way that doesn't disrespect what we've learned and how we've learned it.

                            I guess since you are ultimately responsible for our alphabet you should be allowed to use it in any way you chose. Also, since good spelling is basically only necessary if one wants to insure good communication and you appear to have nothing worthwhile to communicate to us, poor spelling is perfectly suitable for this discourse.

                                    "Let's put an end to this thread, folks -- it's not going anywhere and it's taking away from this Tribe."

                                    Admittedly, this thread is stupid and silly, but we were just trying to have a little fun. If you don't like it, don't read it. I cannot see where it is taking anything away from this Tribe.

                                    It would be a lot better if we just had a better God to answer our questions. Maybe you should play the role, George. You kinda, sorta have a god-like look about you.

                                      ...and by gosh, if George is a good enough name for three presidents, it is surely good enough as a name for God.

                                  So your excuse of denying your creator is some kid who thinks he's GOD on tribe rubbing you the wrong way. You need to work on that one. Cause there will always be someone to help you take the lower road.

                                  May the light of eternity light your path.
