		<description>If there is a God. And if this God did indeed make man in his own image (or not). Why would He create a creature set to worship on faith alone, when we are clearly instruments of reason? I would imagine any creator of anything would hope the best for its creation. Since mans positive progression throughout history can be attributed to logic, reasoning, and deduction, why would that not be praised by an almighty? It is that very logic, reasoning, and deduction that brought us out of the empirical reign religion once held over western civilization. Thus bringing advancements to medicine, exploration, and all reletaive qualities of life. It seems suiting that God (if there is a God), wanting the best for His creation, would encourage man to reason instead of trust and hope.  
Side Note: 
Believing in God, or disbelieving in God, is folly. What we should be doing to working together through our own systematic processes for the improvement of mankind. </description>

		<description>&#914;&#955;&#945;&#963;&#966;&#951;&#956;ί&#945; &#945;&#965;&#964;ό!  Are you sure you&#039;re not German?  &#039;Cause Gawd told me German and He gets soooo pissed when you prove Him wrong. 
 
  As for the postcard; Phrew!  You&#039;re a hard one to convince.  I assumed that&#039;s all it would take to convince anyone.  I never came up with a Plan B. </description>

		<description>Hah, don&#039;t worry, I&#039;m not German. You should have tried in Greek :P 
 
Aber nein. Unless the postcard materializes from component atoms in front of my eyes (and perhaps not even then) I&#039;d say that it&#039;s not as strong a piece of evidence ;) </description>

		<description>But if you grow in power and you can&#039;t use it to prove your existense, do you really grow? Or do you just use it to pimp-slap Allah around? 
 
Plus, you&#039;re lying for if you really were the God of Atheism you wouldn&#039;t be leaving this comment :P </description>

		<description>Hate to tell you guys this, but I *am* real, and every time one of you doesn&#039;t believe me, I grow in power.  Every time you say you *do* believe me, I know you really don&#039;t, and grow in power anyways.  I&#039;ve got this market LOCKED!</description>

		<description>There are so many ways to trade and to bargain on the bazar of life, but this your currency is empiric proof called and you don&#039;t seem to take visa or anything else. That&#039;s why I called it static before.. ;)</description>

		<description>&quot;If you want to convince anyone other than yourself, that’s all you got&quot;

No. You can make a bridge on similar experience, explain the concept or compare to metaphors. The point is that empirical proof as much as scientific method is general and anonymous and non-personal. And I consider the world to be anonymous and non-personal enough. I am not going to dispersonize my experience and reduce it to something everyone can proof simply for two facts: First, it is beyond my abilities as much as it is beyond the abilities of those who try to get it but cannot. Second, it&#039;s something so f&#039;kin personal that I am not going to share it with everybody and nobody has a &quot;right&quot; to have it shared that much. ;) The only thing I can and I am willing to do is to explain and if someone finds it useful, he might keep a part of it, if not he gained some nice stories to tell of ancient myths and modern habits.

The second part was, that I was thinking about something like this: &quot;How do I know you are not a prophet of that atheist divinity, trying to disconvince me from believing in gods of any kind.&quot; The next thought about the _why_ was &quot;What use might that be of? Maybe the atheist god does not like the other gods to be worshipped and getting stronger.&quot;

Another interesting fact is, that we talk about faith and belief and completely ignore that there are so many ways to .. let&#039;s call it &quot;contact&quot; .. a divine entity. Its not only praying, worshipping or believing in, it&#039;s trading, receiving info and commanding as well, don&#039;t forget that. ;)</description>
