Man I wish I knew, I might just have to order me one of these (http://www.yo-god.com) :D
I think the artist should get a message via lightning bolt. :D
Reminds me of a headline in "The Onion" a while back: "God answers man's prayers. Says 'NO!'"
Regarding your original question, where's God? Never more than an arm's length away from you, cause only you can push him away.
Regarding requiring God to show himself by some means WE define (what the product referred to does):
Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city...and saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Matthew 4:5-7
Some fools may deny that God exists, but they cannot deny that He has a sense of humor.
Where's God? Very simple, right inside me! :D

I hope so. Especially if "He" is "She" :D
For most of us, that God manifested Himself on Earth in human form as a male pretty much establishes that He is what He is.
Personally, I have an open mind. Having said that, I also believe that God is omnipotent and universal. As such, He is beyond simple human attempts to describe Him. He is neither male or female, young or old, black or white, neither here nor there but everywhere. God is the air that surrounds us and is the pervasive vacuum of the Universe.
As humans, we have only our own humanity as a frame of reference. One must look beyond himself, beyond the human experience to even begin to contemplate the nature of God. If a candy bar can be "indescribably delicious", how much more can God, the creator of the Universe and beyond, be "indiscribably indescribable"?
You could no more characterize God than you could explain human thought by dissecting the brain. That we humans seek to understand omnipotence and universaility by casting it in a corporeal sense is understandable, but futile.
If we cannot envision the entire Universe in a single thought, what makes us think we can comprehend God in a thousand years? For all our self-vaunted human "intelligence", I believe that on the grand scale, we are little more than amoebae.
You're getting pretty profound there Nick. :D
Rev. Bogy, I am always profound, but I also expected a more recondite response from you, of all people. :confused:

Aah yes, but especially this week I try to avoid being quite so recondite as I contemplate how to express the inexpressible and incomprehensible, the love of God, a love so great it allowed itself to die so that we could live.
I dunno..some of the posts here don't seem to be in the spirit of the laughter forum:nono2: ... maybe there should be a points system or such where if you don't have something funny to say here, you get fined or demoted back to 'newbie' on your signature line...
and so I'm not also guilty of the above...
What does an 80yo woman smell like?
