Questions such as these are quite understandable and seemingly never ending. They are based on the unquestioned assumption that there is a god, a creator, an entity, a thing out there someplace that has obviously abandoned us. Society and the world of phenomena seems to support such a view, but is it true? The enlightened throughout time have all agreed that the answers we seek are here/now (the Truth is within), but we are stuck in a paradigm that blinds us. We never question the sense of being a fragmented and separate entity. We never really examine and scrutinize the entity called "me" that exists within the confines of the mind. We cherish and embrace it as if it is real and thus inhibit conscious awareness from ever seeing beyond it. Before we start questioning God, it may be wise to question are own existence first. Am I who I believe myself to be, or is there a deeper Truth? Who am I -- really? We need to see from the eyes of Truth, before we can see Truth. j

I don't know. Perhaps God is still taking his "sabbath".

Was Voltaire asking too much when he said "We need a God who speaks to the human race".
No, I suppose not for his time. But honestly, in the year 2003, we know damned well that nature is anything but mute. And while "We need a God who speaks to the human race" speaks to humanities fears and helpless feelings, the fact is that mankind has existed thusfar w/o a God who "speaks to the human race".
So do we really "need" something we've gotten this far without?
