Hopefully, if there is a God, He actually has something intelligent to say and He can get through to either me or them... What I'm saying is: spare me the emotional fluff. Also, please spare me the ad-hoc, practical rule of thumb approach as a solution - as that only just partially solves the problem. I want something deeper intellectually in some way here... I just don't want more of these empty, sappy emotional emotional arguments - "God sometimes makes mistakes" types of things that remind me of a line from Office Space: "Somebody has a case of the Mondays." If He's out there, I want some real help, and a lot less of that... (And certainly not any of the abusive, tyrannical approach I sometimes see from people - please aim it at them, and not me...)
I don't want to be harsh, but you just wait for god to appear in front of you, and solve all of your problem in a deepest way possible? And beside that what will you do? Doing nothing and just wait and wait?

If you want to meet God so bad, at least try to do something to grab it's attention. At least those zealot fight and die for their god, they have a story to tell.
