God's Truth

Even more basic, I would suggest, than either of the questions ``Does God exist?'' or ``What do we mean by `exist'?'' is that of ``Do we really any longer care?'' I for one do not (Letters, September 14).

A god who gives every indication of having been out to lunch for nigh on the last two centuries, consistently failing to answer our communications with regard to famine, war, poverty, injustice, inequality or any other major human concern (let alone take action) is frankly of no relevance or interest to me.

There is a view that this apathetic ineffectual male chauvinist requires me to worship him. I can't say I'm totally surprised but he hasn't got a hope. And if I get to meet him, I'll tell him so myself.
