The concept of what god is has changed, if not evolved, over thousands

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.




If you *know* all that, then why would you ask a question like-

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

That is, unless maybe you really don't have a clue...


Rhetorical question.
