Tell me, of the two which do you think is more childish?
Kitan's little rant is the only childish thing so far. Never seen a cloud gremlin nor do I believe in one, so no. As for God and the heaven He has for His children of faith, we will have many jobs to work, million year vacations to explore the universe, but most of all we will be face to face with Him, able to thank Him for what He did to redeem us to himself.

Yes, they are a reminder that God will never flood the world again, He cleaned it up with a flood of water and now He is cleaning up people with a flood of love through Christ our savoir.

It is not.
Nothing any different than you do all the time but, we have done so time and time again and no one listens, so maybe, just maybe we see fit to take a short cut from time to time, we know you want listen.

To show hardcores the need for God, but seems you all still want listen, just go on blaming God (something you do not even believe in) for the things humans do. You all don't even try to improve such situations, because you find satisfaction in blaming God. And you all call us crazy.

No we dismiss you because you have no evidence. You dismiss us because you don't like what we have to say. If you had evidence for your position it would be something you could take to the patent office and win a Nobel Prize with. Faith is nothing but a form of wishful thinking, you do it, Muslims do it, Jews do it, Hindus do it, an that is what does not make "faith" universal. But the fact that you and I type on computers, which are products of science, that IS universal.
Crazy is believing a bearded man in a white robe and sandels with a magic wand is battling with a guy in a red suit with a pitchfork over the neurons in your brain. THAT is crazy.
When children watch Batman cartoons, it makes sense that they fantasize like that because they don't know any better. In evolutionary terms the god claims of antiquity both in polytheism and monotheism made sense that people would make those gap answers, the problem today with clinging to that is that we know much better now about reality in a scientific sense.
So the only rational explanation to why religions and god claims pop up is because of our species ignorance, both unintended or willful ignorance. Of course a god exists to you because you want to believe it badly enough so you do. So do Muslims and Jews and Hindus and so did the people of ancient Egypt who believed in Isis and Horus and Osiris.
