And, yes, I'm being facetious here. But I have yet to see anything to indicate that God is any more real than Sherlock Holmes or the Easter Bunny.


I always say that if God is a real honest-to-goodness sentient being who is alert and thinking, and can intervene at whim with human beings then why play hide-and-seek?

If God expects something from me why play guessing games? Why not just tell me what the hell he wants from me?

I don’t care much for a God that plays hide-and-seek, and who expects me to play guessing games.

Why should I believe in any particular book that claims to speak for God? Clearly there were a lot of them and most of them have since been deemed to be nothing more than mythology. As far as I’m concerned there is no reason not to believe that they are all mythology.

Any genuinely intelligent God would surely understand this and recognize that its reasonable to reject such unwarranted and unrealistic stories.

Finally, any truly sentient, all-knowing, all-wise, God that would expect me to be unreasonable in order to believe in it, would need to be a seriously deficient in wisdom.

In short, the idea of a truly loving wise deity that plays hide-and-seek guessing games just makes no sense at all.

The idea that a God would pass judgments on people based on how they guess in a guessing game is nothing short of absurd.



It's not about "hide n seek" it's about faith.
Faith is everywhere, whether it's a theistic faith or a more secular one.
EVERY belief system still has questions that truly are unanswered and may be unanswerable until that fateful day comes.
At some point a leap of faith must be made to truly embrace that belief.
Science is a great example, sure it's been right enough times to give it credibility but it's been wrong enought times to still make it questionable. So the ones that put their faith in science make a "leap of faith."
ALL religions, ALL beliefs require this step, be it Judeo Christian, Muslim, Wiccan, et al, or logic and reasoning or even science.
