There's a lot of arguments about god going around here. There is no proof, yes there is, no there isn't... "If god is so real, why doesn't he show himself?" To which some christian will always answer, "well, because god wants us to have faith... if god just makes a presence, there would be no more need for faith"...
And I've been thinking... would that be so bad? No need for faith? I think if there's no need for faith, maybe we can all start friggin getting along. Think about it: God comes out of the shadows, and gives us ALL the answers. Not "faith" answers, but actual answers. Let's say god says:

Yes, I am here, yes, I created the world, but not 4000 years ago (not sure who started that claptrap), but billions of years ago... then, I just sat back and watched. You all DO have souls - in fact, you ARE souls, in this physical medium. When your life ends, your soul will roam free in a higher state of existence. There is no "heaven" as you see it. In fact, there is no "afterlife", just "life"... you are currently living a "subchapter" of life, that is all. Don't worry about prayers, my children. I have a divine plan, and it doesn't make a difference. Just live a happy life, and please don't kill each other over me. That wasn't my intention at all when I created life. Just live out this chapter, and think of it as training wheels. Be good to each other, and above all, have some fun. I'll see you on the other side. Don't worry about the virgin mary stuff, by the way. She was a big time cheater, and Joseph was a big time gullible chump for buying that story. He knows better now, and has forgiven her. We're all great friends now, and doing pretty well. By the way, even though your life is temporary, I do need to tell something to you Rapture people: I plan on using the Earth as "soul training wheels" for many millions of years to come, so please stop global warming, for the good of generations to come. Oh yeah, and the meaning of life is: [censored by mods, sorry, we can't be revealing that just yet hahaha]

There. Now there's answers, a real manifestation, and no more need for faith. Would such a world be such a horrible place? If so, why? Now life has a meaning for everyone, and everyone's on the same page. No more holy wars. We can finally move on as "the human race" and explore the universe together. We can experience all these emotions without having to worry about some schmuck passing judgment, while raping children when nobody's looking. Let's work towards a happier place. I do believe that even if god didn't come forth and say all that, we can achieve a world like that.
