If God is the all knowing, ever present Creator why does he need to be defended by mere mortals like you?
Read a different book! Put down that Bible and read something else...really.
Maybe you could start with the now 170 year old title "The Origin of Species" written by the Rev. Charles Darwin...yes he was an Anglican priest. This is a dangerous text because it blows the concept that Humans were some how "created" separately from everything else.
Or perhaps something from the last century...you know the 20th century..that seems to have passed you by. "A Brief History of Time" by Stephan Hawking...which probably has way too much math...so I'm sure you will avoid the headache.
Ok...How about this...find some used college textbooks like "Biology 101", "Basic Physics", "Chemistry 101" and "Physical Geography 101". That should get you occupied for a year or two giving you ample time to kick the Bible addiction.
...get tuned up a little...and quit reading authors from 5000 years ago when the world didn't know sh** and people thought dreams came from God.

Quite interesting answers here....I think people should read some C.S. Lewis an Oxford grad from the 20th century....Wrote Mere Christianity and spent 20+ years as an agnostic (since there is no such thing as an atheist, they are really agnostics), only to become a formost Christian Theologian. He realized to make a statement "there is no god" is not possible to know this you would have to know everything there is about god....All theology, the whole Bible and yes even seen into the vastness of the heavens to see that there is "no god." No human can do this so therefore an atheist is really an agnostic because they do not know all there is to know about God.

Well I would but the members of my church, the Landover Baptist Church, mostly all have jobs so they can't sit and play on YA all day.
So, we just defend God on our website and at our stimulating Sunday sermons.

Any true Christian would know that Christians are not here to defend God or to argue the Word of God,but to declare it. People are not robots, we each have free will in order to decide for ourselves. To believe or not, we will all find out one day.

Defend God? You mean start endless flame wars where the non-Christians battle the Christians to a brutal and bloody standstill?
Jihad! Jihad!

All of the Church members I know are busy saving souls in the off-line world!
By the way, Rev Trask, welcome back. It's lonely when you're not here!

I'm still waiting to see your god defend himself. I can't understand why he chooses all of the dumbest followers.
Edit: what Perry L said.
