<div>My acceptance of a god or gods extends into the future rather than a point in space but otherwise I see it the same way. Assuming that "god" can traverse time I suppose I would have to accept the existence of a god at this very moment. But accepting that there is a god (or will be) is a long way from believing that you know every detail of the nature of that god and that it is all written in a perfectly preserved 1500 year old book. </div></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></body></html>
