Awwwww..... there's nothing like a good bit of Christian brain-washing mixed in with scenic images to warm the heart.
I agree with many of the points raised in the second and third question, but it seems God's answer to the first question is just "Mankind are idiots and wasters!"
Only other problem is, why interview God? He's omnipotent, he'd know exactly what you're going to ask him and exactly what answers he'd need to give. It'd be nice if we could give the the fella a few suprises while he exists for ever!

The god in the spirituality forum is nothing like this.
I find it interesting how some strands of Christianity, when faced with dying out completely, have purged most of the 'nasty' bits from their religion in a desperate effort to make it palatable, whereas others haven't felt the need and successfully pursue the 'fear' strategy of attracting converts. For example, from what I've heard the average British Christian believes in God, Jesus, Heaven and angels. But if you ask them about the Devil they'll say he's a metaphor; about Hell they'll say only really bad people go there, if anyone goes there at all; and about witchcraft or evil spirits they'll say it's superstitious nonsense.
