** I recognise that this will inevitably bring in apologists who will tell me that God will not violate my free will, so let me put this here in public, where there will be no violation for his omniscience to read this:

"I, Yuen Xiang Hao, writing as Notkieran, do, of my own free will, declare that I am willing to allow any God, gods or goddesses in existence, for the next 24 hours from the posting of this diary entry (dated 4th of March, 2009, at 1935h, Singapore time) to rewire my brain in such a way that I will believe in your existence. Failure to take advantage of this one-of offer will be taken to assume either:

a. Nonexistence, or

b. A desire for me to forever remain a nonbeliever in your (or Your) existence, and thus any attempt to proselytise me henceforth is a violation of Your holy will. ***
