Just because you do not ask the question doesn't mean that there isn't an answer. If there is no God then you're existence is pointless, purposeless, and futile. And if that is the case, then then only the question that truly matters is "Why not kill myself?". I'd rather not accept your a priori assumption of antisupernaturalism and follow the evidence.

Ah, so are you saying that the concept of god is intrinsically contradictory, or a paradox? Because that's what I would conclude from your post...

No, I was showing how your statement doesn't apply to God and probably isn't true anyways. I may have been unclear in that.

Like I said before: religion creates more questions than it even set out to answer, because "It tends to grab our attention when he does." is clearly an opinion, not an objective fact.

Nope, you're right. If most people saw miracles they would just keep walking and not care. They will just shrug them off and not care.... Nope.
Anyways, this thread has gotten way off track and I am going out of the state for a couple months soon. So this will probably be my last post here. Thanks for the great discussion.
