To answer my own question, What I receive is not a sign of any kind.
In what way is what God does for you, making himself and his purpose visible to you, not a sign? Now you're just playing word games. "It's not a sign; it's an answer. It's not an answer; it's a reply. It's not a reply; it's a sign." You're just jerking off claiming that what God does for you isn't a sign when the whole point of your A/S/K bullshit is to say that if you perform the right sequence of ritualistic steps, God will give an unmistakable answer that can't be mistaken as not from God. That's the very definition of a sign. So in this passage, Jesus says not to ask for signs; in Luke, however, we're encouraged to look for signs, literally, symbols which point the way, in modern parlance. (We'll look at it exegetically if you like.) So what we have is not you providing "clarity" for one who earnestly seeks the divine, which I do, you know this, it is the backbone of my Hinduism. Instead of clarity, what you have presented is a Jesus who says something diametrically opposite to things he's said before, just to get himself out of a rhetorical jam. And you, for your part, hold the hypocrisy of Christ dearly to your breast and try to justify it by playing word games. You're pathetic. You know nothing of God. I know god personally, intimately. This is not god you are representing; you're defending a first century magician who couldn't keep his own lies straight. You're defending a liar, and in so doing, making of yourself a liar. Calling it a question and an answer, rather than a demand for a sign, doesn't change the nature of what you are doing. You are the modern day Pharisee, expecting your "signs" (replies) to be from God. They aren't.
And "god" already works wonders with me. Your ego, however, insists on calling what I do "pandering" because you are jealous of the acclaim the divine has anointed my travels with. Oh, but the Lord loves that haughty look of yours, yes S/he does.
