In Deuteronomy 6:16, Matthew 4:7Luke 4::12 it is forbidden "to test the Lord" yet in 1Kings 18:19-40 that is exactly what Elijah does.

Isn't the "proof in the pudding"? Nowadays, aren't we all from Missouri "the Show Me State"? Removing the onus of Doubt from people's livings would seem a very worthwhile goal especially considering the prevalence of doubting Thomases in today's world as evidenced by Harlan Ellison's popular comment that, "No, I don't believe in God. I'm not a moron. I have to have some proof of something.
