A lot of Kiwis come here to work. A Kiwi friend just this weekend helped me with some tree cuttings.

You may not need God now. But you will at some point. We all will.

The state church in the Nordic countries is Lutheran even though attendance is low.

You're missing the point. Ajax18 is well aware that once science, technology and medicine have developed enough, more and more people make the happy discovery that whether or not they do stuff intended to attract the attention of a deity, or to tell him how wonderful he is, makes no difference to what happens to them.

The result is that the deity in question, if he exists, become royally pissed at getting ignored. He then smites us all with sore boils in the hinder parts, death of all the firstborn, or whatever takes his fancy, just to make us take notice. Then we shall have to beg him to stop, and show that we are really, really sorry for not having done enough to feed his cosmic ego.
