Don't bother looking for God. He ain't there.
At the very least, the God of the Old and New Testaments certainly does not exist. Doesn't it strike anyone as odd that the God who would strike down the Tower of Babel and level Sodom and Gommorah has not been heard from since? And no, New Orleans doesn't count, because it's still there. Might we not expect the proactive God described in the Bible to have gotten involved in the that whole Holocaust thing, for instance? Or way in on the problems in the Middle East? And as nutty as I find Mormons, it is to their credit that they address the following question: if God wanted to save the whole world, why send his son exclusively to one tiny patch of desert, and leave the rest to missionaries over *centuries*? Spare me the "He moves in mysterious ways" nonsense.
There may be a higher power, but it's obvious he couldn't care less what we're up to. It is up to each of us to give our own lives meaning.
