I was smote once...

I'm still an atheist, but when I was a somewhat less introverted atheist I once said that if God wanted me to believe in him, he'd do something useful like give me a ham sandwich when I'm hungry. I quickly amended that to turkey, because I don't much like ham.

For the next two weeks, whenever I went to a deli to order a sandwich, I got ham instead of turkey no matter how clearly I said the word. From then on, I decided that I'd mind my own Ps and Qs and let God get on with keeping the universe from imploding. So far that seems to have worked out.
