   No, I haven't. I don't live in Iran.   
   And I don't really trust the 'lying media'.   
   I'm not saying it didn't happen, just that   
   I didn't see as you implied.

   When I gave examples, you dismissed it by saying   
   it happened in the past. When it happens again in   
   the future, you will no doubt find an excuse to   
   justify it as you always do.

   It's all nonsense, fantasies for ignorant people   
   who are afraid of the inevitable, afraid of dying.

   Why, because you will smite me?   
      
   You will send one of your 'agents' to   
   hunt me down?   
      
   God is not a 'he', and does not come to us   
   in ambiguous human languages, written by   
   fallible and dubious people.   
      
   God would come to us in principles that   
   are self evident, that cannot be questioned.   
   Sort of like rocks guaranteed to fall, or   
   the Moon, Sun and Stars, that we all can see.
