to think or not to think

I got an e-mail from a self proclaimed "material atheist." He told me that if a god did exist that it would (and these are his words): "be perfect ... [with] no need to be worshiped it could have no thoughts."

I don't want to pick on this guy, I just want to make a point at his expense. The idea of 'a god' that has no thoughts, doesn't seem very god-like. The very fact that humans are able to think is what makes us superior to animals (and dirt) and gods are supposed to be superior to humans. So, how is it that a perfect god could have no thoughts?

I don't serve a thoughtless god. I serve the omniscient God, the great I AM, Yahweh, the King of kings and Lord of lords. Indeed God has thoughts. As the Bible says: "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thought" (Isa. 55:9).

Now that is a God worth worshiping - a God who can help when you need help - a God who can direct you and guide you - all because of his great wisdom and power.
