Eyeball, I don't have a bit of a problem with us humans having a God. we had to hav started somewhere, and starting with God is as good of a place, condition, actuality as any. no one has come up with a better idea, unless it's the Hindu's. they say there's no beginning and no end. I don't know if they are right or wrong in that regard.

I'm not much into prophecy of Israel. the Conservative Rabbi I studied under back in the day didn't give it much credence, and he was well-versed in the subject, having been raised Orthodox and all.

anyhow, a lot of people like the idea or concept of God, since it gives them a "out" when they breathe their last down here on the Urthen. for that, God does seem to play an important role for many people, no matter what their current religion is.
