OT God was very active trying to force people to do what he wanted. Silence is part of NT Gods new plan; he realized he couldn't force people to do what he wanted so now he just sits on the sidelines picking out the ones who do what he wants without being cattle prodded. They show they're loyal without being forced, meaning their loyalty is worth more this way.

Make of that what you will. I did have a few objections but I admit it was a rather refreshingly new explanation for the lack of smiting of San Francisco.

It would be but for the many miracles claimed in the Middle Ages.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
