29. There are plenty of gods who might be willing to testify.
Or at least God's representative's on Earth. The Reverend Sun Myung Moon, believed by some to be the Mesiah sent by god to complete the earthly mission of Jesus, for example, who has financial ties with the Republican party and was recently "crowned by Congress".

Moon Crowned by US Congressmen

Rev. Syung Myung Moon is crowned by Danny K. Davis

As part of an Ambassadors for Peace ceremony, Rev. Moon was one of several dozen honorees at a ceremony at the Dirksen Senate Office Building on March 23, 2004. The media ignored the event at the time, but a freelance journalist, John Gorenfeld, spent the next three months reconstructing the details of the event. His writings forced a sheepish Washington Post, scooped by Web sites, to cover the Senate ritual, which the New York Times editorial page compared to an act of the Roman emperor Caligula.

In what the Times labelled "a coronation ceremony", the Rev. Sun Myung Moon was given a bejeweled crown by Rep. Danny K. Davis, D-IL and Moon announced that he would save everyone on Earth as he had saved the souls of even such murderous dictators as Hitler and Stalin — who had been born again through him. Moon said the reformed Hitler and Stalin vouched for him from the spirit world, calling him "none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent".

The awards ceremony was the grand finale of the Family Federation's coast-to-coast "take down the cross" tour, intended to remove Christian crosses from almost 300 churches — the idea being that the cross has been an obstacle to uniting religions. Wealthy churches largely have refused to participate in the tour, and nearly all the church's success has been in poor neighborhoods.


Then, too, there is Benjamin Creme and Maitreya who communicates telepathically with Creme. Some insist that on the "Day of Decleration"

Maitreya will go on international television worldwide and telepathically every human being will hear his message for his plan to transform humanity in his or her native language but it will be telepathic. Then he will give what he calls this experience of himself so there will be no doubts in anyone's heart of who he is because people recognize him instantly when he does this.
...
The government we have today will not survive 15 even 10 years after Maitreya's TV address. As much as we may worship our current system and all the other institutions we have build for 2,000 years in the western world under Christianity which then spread to rest of the world: these are not going to exist any longer.


So, God will soon be able to sort out all this for us, I'm sure. :sarcasm:
