Let me guess...this spiritual gift test you took was on-line, and cost about $50.

It sounds like you don't really believe. Don't fret, this is a good sign. It's a sign that deep down you realize that \"God\" and other supernatural claims are not reasonable. Also, you are realizing that people who put their faith in the unreasonable not only look foolish, but are foolish.
Read some writings by non-Christians. I recommend Sam Harris to start with.

Later in the post boonebytes describes the test, given by the \"Natrual [sic] Church Development group\". Sounds very RPGish.

>>I guess the main thing is I would like some proof that He's not going to make me look silly<<
I think it's a little late for that

Are you sure you can't walk on water? If you have faith you can row out to the center of any lake, step over the side of the boat and walk back to shore. Please try it at your earliest convenience.

\"I won't put it past God\"
Isn't that a little redundant. I mean, it's GOD after all. The whole point of omnipotence is that we can't put ANYTHING past him.
\"the main thing is I would like some proof\"
Then you've picked the wrong religion.

\"I guess the main thing is I would like some proof that He's not going to make me look silly.\"
Well it's a bit late for that.

Cousin Ted and Talismen beat me in.

If you demand proof, you have no faith!!
BEGONE FOOL!
I'm also guessing, 'being made to look silly' is the recurring theme in your life.

Hadn't noticed CousinTed got to it before me. I feel so redundant now...

This actually reminds me of a song:
It's Not My Birthday
-They Might Be Giants
Well, the rain falls down without my help, I'm afraid
And my lawn gets wet though I've withheld my consent
When this gray world crumbles like a cake
I'll be hangin' from the hope
That I'll never see that recipe again
As I walk, I think about a new way to walk
As I think, I'm using up the time left to think
And this train keeps rolling off the track
Tryin' to act like something else
Tryin' to go where it's been uninvited
It's not my birthday
It's not today
It's not my birthday so why do you lunge out at me?
When the word comes down \"Never more will be around\"
Though I wish we were there
I was less than we could bear
And I'm not the only dust my mother raised
So I'm rattlin' the bars around this drink tank
Discreetly I should pour through the keyhole
Or evaporate completely
But there'd be no percentage and there'd be no proof
And the sound upon the roof is only water
And the rain falls down without my help, I'm afraid
And my lawn gets wet, though I've withheld my consent
When this gray world crumbles like a cake
I'll be hangin' from the hope
That I'll never see that recipe again
It's not my birthday
It's not today
It's not my birthday so why do you lunge out at me?
When the word comes down \"Never more will be around\"
Though I wish we were there
I was less than we could bear
And I'm not the only dust my mother raised
I am not the only dust my mother raised
I am not the only dust my mother raised

and the messiah complex continues
actually if god is any fun, he'd be trying to make him look silly
God: Sungrazer, shout to the rain to stop
Sungrazer: In the name of god the almighty stop falling rain. (nothing happens, everybody laughs)
Sungrazer: Lord, why have you forsaken me
God: First you must walk through the wall. (Whack) Chuckles

I currently cannot walk on water or anything
I can, but the puddle can't be deeper than a few inches or my socks will get wet.

Looooooooooove Credence!
Long as I remember the rain been comin' down.
Clouds of mystry pourin' confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, tryin' to find the sun;
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain.
I went down virginia, seekin shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain.
Heard the singers playin, how we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together, tryin' to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain.
