If we stopped teaching children to talk, all over the world, in a single generation all of humanity will have forgotten all about all concepts of god (at least as established) and will need to learn to do everything all over again from scratch. Why would god build this defect into his creation so that a massive event that would kill off adults (like that one episode of Star Trek) might leave children stranded in this way and make them go feral, if he supposedly has built knowledge of him into our hearts and has a flawless ability to communicate if he chose to? Surely if feral children with no spoken language of any kind could still be made to understand divine language. Any theists want to touch this point?
Actually , they would start a cult waiting for the return of Captain Walker.

So what does it matter if we disaree on the exact way of punishment, we agree that there will be a sever punishment for the nonbeliever. Seems to me we agree on the principles of the matter.

You need to talk to CL about this punishment thing.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
