If there are gods, what's the point of faith? They could simply reveal themselves, as the Judaic god, among others, used to do (when folks were more gullible), and that would remove much uncertainty all round.

If the challenge is to believe without proof, where does this put the disciple Thmaas on the day of reckoning? I'd believe in Christ myself if I'd seen him risen from the dead. But I don't see why I should believe without evidence, just to score points in some silly faith test. If gods had to be invented to give meaning to life, spare a thought for the gods themselves. What gives meaning to their lives? The existence of yet greater gods?

As for a personal creed, I'd put Shakespeare is up there with the Bible, the Koran, the Talmud etc: Unto thine own self be true.
