Reclusive deity hasn't written a new book in 2000 years.
Satire from "The Onion".

Re: The Concept Of Being "God Fearing"
"Leading writers, scholars, and publishers gathered this week at Fordham University for a literary conference and panel discussion on God, the widely praised but reclusive deity who has not published a book since His landmark debut 2,000 years ago."
- An odd statement to make given that Muhammad claims that his revelations came from the Angel Gabriel, ie that the Quran is the word of God. I thought everyone knew that (regardless as to whether or not they believe it). The first revelations were received in 610 or thereabouts, but not brought together in a textual fashion and in a definitive version until 650 so that makes it 1,364 years ago...unless...
The conference at Fordham shows no interest in other, non-biblical religions. Following Islam, some might say related to it is the Bahai faith, which also claims that some of its canonical texts are divine revelation. This gives God a more recent entry into publishing, as Bab's Commentary on the Suri'h of Joseph was published in earthly form in 1844 -'Bab' -Siyyid Mirza Ali Muhammad Shirazi (ie a dude called Ali born in Shiraz in Iran)- claimed to be the vanished Imam or Mahdi and thus the man who had 'returned' to earth to lead mankind to salvation, or also that he was the returning John the Baptist, Elijah, and so on. He became known as 'Bab' meaning gate or door to imply that we would pass through him to eternal sunshine. Baha'ullah was a follower and was instrumental in codifying the Bahai 'faith' which now claims to unify all monotheist religions although I have always thought of it as an Islamic heresy. Whatever, that God was a contemporary of Charles Dickens and Honore de Balzac seems lost on the 'scholars of Fordham'.

Re: The Concept Of Being "God Fearing"
God's literary output is very uneven, probably due to his use of holy ghost writers.

Re: The Concept Of Being "God Fearing"
Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you. The Greatest George Carlin.... couldn't said it better
