Damnit, the server seemed to be b*tching when I wrote this post... So once again.

"Ironically", you might say
, that is basically the main point being Christian imho. Originally. Which got way distorted in the course of time, unfortunately. But I do also think Spike is aware of that himself.
We don't have the slightest idea what awaits us after we die here, every belief in some sort of supernatural being or creator is a way of making this trembling ambiguity more endurable. But as I said, the point is to keep the damage you cause during your life - be it to people, animals, the nature or whatever - as little as possible. And that's far more than "Hey dude, I really am sorry for killing your dog with the lawn mower. That was kinda rude I guess... Looked funny though."... It would involve bringing more justice into society, for example. Which still doesn't work that good nowadays, but that's obvious.
That's how I get the message in being Christian. Or religious. That's the point in most religions anyway.
So basically I can subscribe to Spike's point of view, provided I didn't misunderstand what he was saying ^^. Sorry if so, didn't mean to misuse or distort your statement.
And therefore that's as well what I'd do if God was proven. Being the drama queen that I am I'd be like "omg wtf!!!111" at firt but then go on the same as before ^^.
Just my two cents... Where does this expression originate from anyway?
