Heh! I\'ve had that happen to me, I played the god is all good and all knowing angle.
If there is a god and we are all gods children, and god is all knowing, all good benevolent being. He should know, understand and forgive me for doubting as he gave us all free will. I lead a good honest life, if god smites me simply for using my free will and doubt that which I can\'t see, well he\'s not all good now is he.
It worked wonders for me, the god nut stopped talking about saving m soul after that.
Logic kicks ass when it works in my favor!
