Seems to me that they'd have figured out by now that He ain't listening, or if He is, He ain't willing to participate in their particular brand of crap. If he was, I'd expect our skill, technology etc. would have been disabled by now, instead of getting better by the day.
Looks to me like they haven't gotten their way in about 1000 years, except in small ways and in pissant countries on a temporary basis.
You think they'd get a clue, but apparently not. I guess they like being stupid.
Their god does two things. He commands and he wills. He might command something but not will it in which case the one commanded is doomed. Why their god would command something he does not will is one of those little mysteries.
