What if there were a Large Monolith discovered on one of the outer planets
that had engraved on it in 2000 earth languages "Greetings from God", would
that make it easier for you to believe in Him?  Would that make it too easy?

My personal belief is that God chooses many ways to reveal himself to mankind
but Totally Objective Evidence (TOEs) is NOT one such method because He chooses
for us to exercise our "faith", our "hope", and above all our "love".

If you could choose HOW God would reveal himself to you personally, what would
it be?  Like George Burns' "God" He would be invisible, inaudible, and perhaps
incomprehensible to anyone but yourself: personal and subjective.
