A separate discussion....

You seem to agree with my opinion of a vast dichotomy in logical behavior in a world with and without a God. With eternal salvation on the line, and no rational way to hedge your bets, do you think it's odd that God would be so coy in regards to his existence?

I think a lot of people treat 'belief' as a choice. But it's not really. We've got the input, our brain crunches the data, and we spit out a result. I'm certain there is no God, and am attempting to live accordingly.

Let's pretend there is a God, and I'm just plain wrong. Is that my fault, or His? Particularly when he could have just popped his head in a window like he used to do for the old-timey folks and say "Nope, I'm real. Sorry for the confusion."

Even if I were going the agnostic route, we both agree it's an impossible position to take. There is no 'maybe there is a God' way to live. Asking for certainty in what for many people is a guess at best seems like a bizarre system, no?
