Unfortunately for the con you're selling earth remains firm and heaven is nowhere to be found regardless of how many mustard seeds one amasses for themselves. I like the notion that there is some place that god isn't - by all accounts it looks like that place might be -this- place (unless you're ready to do some of that pointing you mentioned). Bullshitters make all sorts of promises, promises which they have no ability (nor intention) to make good upon. Your god is in precisely this position as an expression of your own fantasies. What promises can you make me Drich? None, nada, zip. What promises do I want from you Drich? Well, maybe one, that you'll stop marketing this garbage. Neither of us will get what we want today.
Indeed, once you've invoked the absurd and magical how could -you- know the difference? Thankfully I have no such problem, as I don't believe in fairies to begin with. This has the convenient effect of absolving me from the consideration of whether or not the voices in my head come from the Good Witch of the East or The Wicked Witch of the West. I also don't end up looking like a fucking loon when people ask me similar questions for the pure fun of considering it.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
