Did not the founders of pretty much every religion claim to speak for and/or to God?
Personally, I do think they were all delusional but I think that of anybody who simply thinks god exists at all. Or is it only nuts to think that god is still talking to people in this day an age?
It's ok to think that God used to smite people through natural disasters but that somehow he has evolved into a better person? That God, perhaps, spent the years 50 BCE to 1876 CE in an anger management seminar and has emerged a much nicer person?
I'm afraid I don't see why Nagin's comment about an angry god are so ridiculous (though I, of course, think they are for more fundamental reasons).
