Oh, you say so. It's a little harder to convince people he exists then
that.

Did you ever *hear* him say anything on a hill;-) Did/Are you writing it
down?

But what if you *hadn't* personally met him? Would/*could* you believe in
him? Not everyone gets to meet him FTF. Why should I take your word for
it?

Uh, *he* might have something to say about that;-)

So you offer your alms, they get er.. processed, and he is faithful.

Exactly wrong! It *is* relevant. He isn't the simplest explanation! Just
because he exists, does that mean that you have *any* clue as to his
nature, his scope, anything??! Of course not! You are not better off
intellectually/scientifically accepting his creation and not him. Because
you can interact with him. The creator will interact with *you*! You are
a euphemeral blip in the sea of time and space, yet he has time for you!
We can discuss whether he exists or not until the cows come home, but it
won't change the fact that he exists regardless of what we say. Prolly
laughing, too-- as he sorts bricks;-)
