If a God is pulling the strings on the universe (physics, natural phenomena, weather, etc), but we can't communicate with, entreat, quesiton, see, measure, or hear from it, what's the difference between that and a God that ceased to exist when the big bang happened?-And as before. If we can't communicate with this god - and it is ultimately responsible for the contents of this world as it's creator, how do we seek redress for grievances? What does this have to say about our concept of justice, or of human rights? What does that tell us about the god in question? Even if it were true, would we be "right" to accept it?
