I polled all of the mythical beings in the world that I could find. It turns out that 76% believe in the Christian God. At first, this seems strange considering the size of the other major religions.

Obviously, though, all of the angels were paid off by God and I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that all of the devils believed in him. Several of the devils even had favorite passages from the Bible memorized.

I suspect that rest of the mythical beings answering in the positive did so only because the Christians had already killed off most of their followers, and so they weren't in a position to disagree. Most interestingly, Dionysus, Krishna, and Mithras all believed in the Christian God, but apparently only because they didn't see any difference between Jesus Christ's father and their own fathers.

I couldn't get any straight answers out of the Taoist gods, and the Hindu gods were all on meditation retreat in the Himalayas. I only managed to get hold of Lakshmi and she said she liked Yahweh, but she is a slut and likes any halfway good-looking male god(and a few female ones too).

So, the statistics are skewed and I wouldn't read into it too much. I hope this clarifies matters.

And 10 percent said "no", god does not exist.

The other 3 percent said that they do much give a damn whether or not god exists.

It was a very scientific survey with an error margin of plus or minus 5 percent.

So now we can all just drop this issue and go on to other things.I am quite pleased with myself for having resolved something that people have pondered over for centuries.
lol

cool ... trouble typing I am luaghing so hard.

I forgot to add that there was an error margin plus or minus 76 percent.

While I was out looking for gods, I happened to be in the neighborhood of Heaven and so I decided to have a quit chat with the big guy himself. I asked God if he believed in Christians. The only answer I got was him proclaiming with a booming voice, "I AM!" I decided not to push the issue any further. I still have ringing in my ears.

Right before talking with God, I had met Jesus at the door of the heavenly mansion. We were talking about religion and stuff. One thing he said stood out to me. He said, "Ya know, I'm sure glad that I'm Christ and not a Christian." And then he just started laughing and laughing, and I was laughing... and it was almost as if the whole world glowed with his laughter.

Its a memory I will always cherish.

I once had an experience like that, but I was a victim of substance abuse at the time, so I am not really sure how much of it was real and how much of it was a product of my somewhat overly-stimulated imagination.

INTERESTING, and now who ever invented the word god never saw it in the first place or has anyone else. It is revealed to all only for the word God, and it is passed on from generation to generation and what goes along with it. No appearance, just stories.
