Ethical / legal / theological question

[proggy]

If you are going into an exam and you pray to your God to help you (assuming you were lucky enough to be born into an area and time where the correct God is the one you are indoctrinated) - are you guilty of cheating?

Other's have as much faith and evidence as you but were born in the wrong region/to the wrong parents etc and are therefore worshipping a non existant god.

Belief is not a choice - wanting to believe something is not believe. Hence no one has 'chosen' not to believe in your God they are just have not been convinced of the difference between your God and the many that neither of you belief in.

As much cheating as sending a letter to Santa asking him to deliver the answers on Christmas day.

It's obvious to anyone with half a brain that the idea of God was created when man couldn't understand the world around him. The sooner the naive simpletons are freed from their delusions and religion dies out the better.

The list of things that YOU should read is a fooking long list.
You might find yourself out of your depth once you finish all the "Spot the Dog" series too.

Especially if he's borrowed your chewed cardboard copies.

I need to get them back from you first though.

And I haven't forgotten about the "My Little Pony" collection you borrowed from my daughter. Make sure you clean the manes properly too.

I have to work up to "Spot the Dog" by starting on something more childish and purile - luckily your posts are ideal for this!

Work hard and they may let you resit the exam.

Perhaps we should start with "Where's Wally?" I don't think it would take long to find him.

But don't pray to pass as that might be cheating
