Do you wish God was real?

Difficult question! It's not clear cut so I say other.

There are some problems. If this "God" is anything like what we normally think about, then I would hold it accountable for the state of the planet. So I'd consider it at best a trickster God and at worst evil. I'd rather there wasn't either of those.

So that leaves one who loves us but has very limited power to stop suffering. If this is the case, I'd be happy that there is someone doing good rather than no one.

If it's a deistic God who set it all off and let us be, then sure I'd be interested in meeting him and finding out what the point was from his perspective. I would expect to be disappointed with both the God and the answer though. (Kevin, 42, works at Universes4U, trial run simulation, forgot to turn off.)
