Why is it silly to ask which deity we are talking about when a poll asks us whether 'God' with a capital 'G' did or did not do something?

A Christian, self definitionaly, is monotheistic. So if you are having this conversation with a Christian and you bring up this inane point, well... what else do you want?

It would be interesting to know how many people who voted have also read "Your Inner Fish".

While reading it over a number of lunch breaks at work, I had a few people who are strong believers in creator-origins who, after asking about it, then refused to talk about it and followed up with a cold shoulder at work for a while.

Personally, I think the information it presents is fairly definitive. I can not imagine someone answering (3) who has read it.

Isn't this how the Jehovah's Witnesses got started?

I've read it. Loved it. Should be required reading.

God must be pleased that you're making decisions for him and relieving him of the responsibility.

Wait, wait, wait!!!

I wasn't aware that there is a book about all this stuff!

Now that I know that there is a book, I would like to change my vote to #2.

:)
