Then why didn't you ask something like "Are all the gods laughing?"





Aren't they all the same guy, gal, rock, piece of wood, statue?

Cuban cigars have a looser twist than that statement, Harry.




The concept of what god is has changed, if not evolved, over thousands
of years, from celestial bodies to pieces of wood to rocks to statues to
some sort of unseen fatherly being and so on. But the idea of a god
still requires belief in the supernatural. I've not seen or read of
anything that proves the existence of the supernatural.

Like Ivan Karamazov, my disbelief in a supreme being "creator" is at
least partially based on the fact that innocent children suffer.

Kids would suffer less if you'd pay your taxes and help feed them.
