Me too. All god has to do is show me a sign that he's real, something incontrovertible, and I'll believe. Deciding to worship him would take some answers about why he used to be such a murderous prick, but if he gives us just one sign, I'll believe.

Right! Now you've got it. Why would
anyone believe in god without a demonstration of his supernatural power? Why would we possibly believe in god without proof?
And why did god stop talking to people and showing off his mighty godliness all the time? I mean, he loves us as much as he loved all the people in the Old Testament (well, the ones he didn't kill, at least), so why did they get all these real-world demonstrations and now we're expected to take it on "faith" in the stories in a book that constantly contradicts itself?
I think we've been hosed, personally. Did god get laryngitis or something?
