	Bob Bales claims that his religion is the only one which has a living
god.  His attitude is "I know god is alive, I talked with him today."

	Balderdash

	There are many, many other religions with living gods.  Up until
a few years ago Jim Jones was running one, then all his followers
ascended into heaven. (Is that any more ridiculous than the claims some
Christians have made? I think not.)

	If you want to get in on the ground floor af a religion, there are
plenty which let you talk to God, and in some of them, God even replies.

	As for myself, I will stick to omnideism (is that the right word
for the doctrine that "everything is god"?)  That way, whenever I'm 
talking, even to myself, I'm talking to God.
