Does god need your help?

Brilliant post Rob   It makes it all the more clear that god has never done a single thing on his own... everything gets done through his minions.

Thanks very much, I appreciate it

Exactly right. So whether he exists or not makes no difference; because the minions did all the work anyway.

I wonder if any theist will answer this with a simple yes or no. Deists are excluded because they don't claim to be "doing god's work" generally.

If someone rushes in trying to use an analogy only involving humans then they'll also be making my point for me.

It would make for an interesting thought experiment: if just for one day every theist in the world stopped trying to speak for God and let God speak for himself. Call it "International STFU And Let God Speak For Himself Day". What would be heard? My guess, the sound of crickets.
