Sorry, I must admit I am not seeking god.   Not your brand or any other.  You see things that exist, don't have to be sought out in this way.  You have to search to find something, but the results aren't dependent truly wanting to find.  The Higgs Boson particle for example was very difficult to find, but there were good reasons for thinking it existed, and finding it depended not on faith, but evidence.

Next he'll claim we are not filthy rich because we are not actively seeking leprechauns at the end of rainbows.

RE: Why be good?
God "wants" to have a relationship with us, yet he hides away and makes us play stupid games to try and find him. Drive ourselves round the twist until we finally convince ourselves he's speaking to us. At that point, it makes no difference whether he exists or not.

If we're not in contact, who is more to blame? A stupid guy in his pyjamas with no powers, or an omnipotent omnipresent whatever type thing? Who could bridge the gap more easily? Blaming me, as usual, is the way of convincing yourself god exists whatever happens. There is no failure criteria again.

Mix and match... you never know what you'll be up against!
Well, if you're into WW2 tanks... But I'd rather have something with a bit more technology in it Tongue

I think I know which mod you're talking about... I use it too! Helps a bit with the US arties, due to their low arc, but not so much with other higher arc arties. Top-down view is better to navigate the whole map.
Now, I'm having way too much fun with the Bishop... I wanted to go for Bert, but... same gun as the Bishop, higher tier... better stay put.

It's pretty convoluted.  You're definitely right that I haven't thought out my position fully.  May never, who knows.  It is not a mistake that my posts ramble all over the place.  Half this stuff I think for the first time as I'm typing it.  That's why I'm here.  If I had it all figured out, I'd be thinking about something else.  For me, this isn't about trying to relive the glory years of junior high debate club.  I'm just interested in gaining information.

That's fair enough, I can respect someone who's fishing his way through his own premises trying to find the keepers.

But me, I never was in debate club. I'm just an opinionated asshole with an Internet connection.
