And we're supposed to be the closed-minded ones?

I know better than "God". I know that owning another human being as property is wrong. I know that the stars are not merely lamps attached to the sky. I know that sterilising the planet with a flood and then reseeding all the lifeforms you just wiped out is not an effective method of eradicating 'evil'; especially for an entity usually defined as infinitely powerful.

Pity, because going by the mythology the character would seriously have benefitted from some competent advice.

Remarkably merciful, the Lord allows sinners to repent even after insulting Him.

Yet the grassroots faithful are so thin-skinned that they're programmed to see offence everywhere and apply what they pass off as condign action to silence critics. It's almost as if this "God" has all the power of the nonexistent and can't even take offence by itself, isn't it?

If I explained you would either not believe me or mock me.

Isn't that what you're expected to expose yourself to, though? The Martyr Card and all that?

Sorry but your attempts to connect the dots between reality and this imagination of yours is a hopeless endeavor. Even you Christians proudly admit, thoughts and words fail to convey God...precisely as we would expect from a primitive fantasy founded on pretzel logic.

Creation itself testifies that there is a God.

Fine. Now demonstrate that and support the testimony. I'll start you off: which god?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
