Well, I seem to have pulled through, although it was touch and go at one point.

I knew that god would listen to my prayer and help you

Thank you, Dex. I'm sure that's what did it.

Now what we should do is convert to islam and pray to Allah for something to see if that works as well!

I assume that your parents have died. Have you really no hope that theirg souls continue to exist?

Does 'hope' make for rational decisions?

I suspect that "hope" may be what makes humans unique and may well help to justify a belief of the existence of a god. I cannot emphasize enough, however, that this god has sod all to do with any man made religion. I believe that it is simultaneously rational and irrational for there to be a god, which is fair enough but entirely irrational to assume that one has to jump through strange hoops and say weird sentences in order to have inner peace and external harmony. I don't think that a god really needs its ego massaged, and I really don't think that it would want any human to kill another human in its name. Somehow, I suspect that if "he" really did manage to create all of this, then he'd have found a better way.

I disagree with one point there.
It appears to me that every god ever invented wanted it's ego massaged.
It seems to be one of the main things that a deity requires of its followers

The Judaeo- Christian god even puts blasphemy above murder in the list of do's and don'ts. So fair to say a little egotistical if you look at what comes in the top 3 of the Commandment charts
(dos and don'ts?? ....help me here)

No. Wrong god. The god I have been praying to is Robitussin.
