Maybe Chris doesn't believe in that sort of God, but most theists do believe in the sort of God who does have thought about people and events, with whom one can communicate with, who interacts with the world and who alternatively save and condemns people. In other words a kind of super-mind.

Maybe I get testy on this subject, but it is really, really frustrating. God is not some sort of super-mind that has thoughts, dammit. No sophisticated theist believes that. This is the rough equivalent, only even wronger, of saying that evolutionists believe that people evolved from apes. No, they don't. It is a cartoon.
