Default Question About Sklansyanity

David,

One of your axioms in Sklanskyanity is that your god takes a position of non-interference, either by necessity or choice. Assuming it by choice, does "non-interference" include not answering "grant me wisdom" type prayers, in addition to the "make this and this happen, please" type?

It isn't an axiom. Sklanskyanity simply claims that involvement is not necessary. Sklanskyanity would not be invalidated if Jesus flew in from heaven and started handing out $100 bills. The main point of Sklanskyanity is that actions are important and belief is UTTERLY irrelevant unless it happens to helps you act.
