Are you seriously touting tide-controlling gravity as the hand of a god that you stated (correctly) does not control tides? How does that work?I didn't state any such thing. I used the word 'could'.

Perhaps God is indifferent to humans. That doesn't mean he isn't an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent force which exists, like gravity exists.

You don't know who my God is, let alone what terrifies him.

With the exception of my facetious name, I don't believe I have ever told you Jesus loves you, or promoted Christian ideology of any kind.
