Yes. We are laughing.Amanual from TX is calling to address the constant atheist question, “why won’t God reveal himself to us?” Why would anyone worship and follow the rules attributed to something whose existence is not at all demonstrable?James from OH is calling to present the biblical prophecies as physical evidence for God.
