Let me ask you this- if we had proof of God, then everyone would be [/B]afraid[B]. Would that not eliminate free choice in your mind? And if we do believe in God, as humans we believe ourselves to be complicated beings, would'nt we believe him to be superior to us? Would'nt that mean we simply would know he would desire our love and not demand it? There would be no reward in that for him, no? The world is the way it is because of our choices everyday, people run the world, not God.
