Actually, the more accurate analogy would be whether or not the Cable company exists.
Whenever I call customer service, I'm pretty certain it doesn't.
Kinda like your experience in prayer, I suppose.
Hmm. Not sure how to take that. I have been told so many times that "you haven't heard god's voice because you weren't praying the right way, or for the right things, or in the right receptive state of mind, or . . . all of that BS. I prayed quite fervently for well over 40 years. You would think even a moron like me would get it right once.

OR, I could actually take that response as an attempt at humor, and not a slam at my lack of proper religiosity. In that case, oddly enough . . .
