"The Bible says in order to please G-d, you must believe that He is, and that He rewards those that diligently seek Him. You should think about the philosophical implications of that statement with respect toward your observable universe."
But perhaps by not accepting the Bible line for line I am seeking God. And actually, I am.
Its interesting that you said that She wouldn't have much a claim on us unless she made her mind known. By this I'm guessing, if you'll pardon me, that you mean "The Bible". I'm not convinced that She made Her mind known to us, or even cares what we think. God created fish, but does he ("she's" getting irritating) care what a fish thinks? I don't know - maybe. But lets say you are right and that God cares what we think, and has made his mind known to us. Why does it have to be in the Bible only? Couldn't the word of God be revealed in every day human discourse? Or found in the quiet of the soul? Or the sound of one hand clapping? Or the smile on a dog?
