You have to admit, it is ridiculous...

Methinks that some of your story references Epicurus. You may already be familiar with it:

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

Yeah, I did that on purpose, but that is seriously what I think.

Greetings unchosen one. I was often unchosen also, most often for the cricket team.

Belief is such a tricky word. It seems to mean something concrete but when you look at it it runs and hides. I recon that lots of the happy clappers say "belief" they mean "the joy of belonging". They don't believe the stuff. If they did then they would not be so afraid to examine it critically.
