G-d is not a person .. human activity affects the weather, amongst other things. ..and G-d affects human activity. ( the minds/souls ) He is closer to us than our jugular vein. :) ..and regards afterlife .. it is not empirically provable one way or another. We will have to see when we die. I...

I think mankind are very good at "mucking up" the weather. :(

Well, what does one mean by "evidence". I mean, as G-d is not of the universe, then how could one detect Him?

That does not answer the question, you know. Give some examples, perhaps..

I don't even know what that means :oops:

The last post in this thread was in 2009.. Surely, we have had many Valentines days since. Where have you been? :)

You can read through my posts on this site, if you like.. If you can't find anything, then my reply would be in vain. :)
