"Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen."
(Luke 11:2–14)
This prayer is repeated endlessly in all sorts of Christian services. People believe they can talk to God, who listens, and that he can respond to their prayers.
That means Christians really do believe that God is both conscious and willful as well as being the creator. That belief, in fact, is what differentiates them from deists.
Per Google, theism is the "belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in one god as creator of the universe, intervening in it and sustaining a personal relation to his creatures."
John is trolling us.
