Why doesn't God come along and help his followers make a coherent argument? Give them some evidence? Stop them getting persecuted by all the mean atheists?
Or just pop in and say hi, and stop all this screwing around?
No wait... only something that exists, with any actual power, could do any of those things.
Even if something or other did create our reality, that doesn't mean it's still alive, or that it gives a rats ass about us even if it is. On a cosmic scale, we're lively rock grit. It's the obsession with thinking we're special that causes all this worship... what amounts to self worship, really.
No one's taking God away from you. But it doesn't mean we'll just accept anything anyone says as true. You need convincing evidence, and that is in very short supply. And that's just to get us to believe you're talking about something real. You still have to convince us why we should care. What's the big deal? Something made us. Wow. We're sentient toys for some bored deity. That's not something to celebrate, in my opinion. I feel kinda sorry for the guy.
