as for the gods thing... the simple, cynical view is none of them are real, and if there IS any sort of higher power, it's strictly hands off. you know, never meddled in affairs, and never will, but is out there. *shrug*
course, it's also a very real possability that what you said about people having belief in someone being the source of their power. no worshippers, no power. i've played a few games and read several books where thats how it goes.
course, that being the case, why don't the modern incarnations of hinduism or various eastern religions which still having millions of followers have masses of miracles occuring?
or, could it be as simple as, to woute futurama, "when you've done something right, it's hard to tell that you've done anything at all."
after all, omnipotent beings couldplan things far more intricate and delicate then we are capable of comprehending, i'm sure.

I don't think Eastern religions have any miracles happening because their belief system isn't like ours. They don't need for that shit to be going on to prove anything.

I think that it's a great thing for your faith to be tested, and for it to continually be tested. As you say, it makes you stronger for it.
Religion and Science will probably always butt heads together but this also serves its purpose because discussion is a marvelous thing.
I feel really good about this. Thanks for joining in and laying out your point of view ^^
