Not trying to pick the bones out of your last post Goofus, but at the risk of side tracking, linking this to peoples' awareness of God is a good one.

Of course, God can be very real in your awareness. It just goes to show that our awareness is our own reality and not anybody else's. If your awareness is that there is an afterlife, then there is. For you. Not for me, not for Fred next door, but for you. Fred has his own personal heaven or hell to look forward to, and so long as mine includes a football team up there anything like as worshipable as Sheffield Wednesday, I'll be happy too.

Mind you, the bit about God being loving and intelligent was originally written before we knew that certain wasps inject eggs into other insects and have their larvae eat their way to their own "glorious birth." Intelligent, I can go with. Loving of course falls at the first hurdle.

Perhaps best not to let God outside of your own head, because he can only ever exist where logic might not be questioned.
