If I'm a god, and I wish to imprint in my believers a sense of my greatness, would I cheat? For instance, if I wanted to stop the sun in the sky, would I actually do that (with all the physical consequences it would have that I would have to keep track on), or would ...[text shortened]... s perspective, of course)?

In hindsight, he probably shouldn't have been so lazy.

You are thinking the 7 day theory is what "All" Christians believe?!?. I for one do not. God created us with minds to think, to reason, to figure things out. If God had the sun stop, then if God is God, everything else would be unaffected. Natural laws are created by God too! So when a miracle does take place, all the more it is a miracle. Now God is working outside of natural law, to make a point. The miracles of Moses time. Some can be explained with natural law, but there are others that can't be explained.
It takes faith to believe in God, and sometimes it just doesn't make any sense to do so. In my own life, I can not deny the existence of God. There has been too much proof. But I also know God well enough, that He likes things like this forum, because it/we challenge each other. Sure, there are tons of redderick (can't think of how to spell it). But we still challenge each other to think.
