My more complex answer (and refution of Zen, was lost, when my line manager appeared (ehem... - the disadvantages of doing this at work...)

from my conversations with "normal" people of faith, and the evaluation of countless of sociology of religion studies on this matter. the guy in the sky that is being worshiped is a far more complex beast than what you think. You disregard the complexities of faiths expressed and shown very easily by all the splits and differences in faith. (getting four different answers from three people f.e)

simply to say - ah Faithies just want their mobile phone in heaven (I actually heard that - about 15 years ago, how time flies...) and the seven virgins, (aeh damn translation error, it actually says raisins) is unacceptably simplistic.

If you want to be taken seriously by those +5B then putting them all in one pot is not conducive to that matter.

I don't expect to be taken seriously by those 5B. I'll consider myself reasonably lucky if I can avoid burning at the stake or similar.
