If God exists..
..then why doesn't he prove it? He created Man in His image, so surely he can understand the complexities of the Human brain. Surely he knows that after thousands of years without proof, some of us are going to start doubting His existence. So if he proved it back then, why won't he prove it now? I mean, all he needs to do is give us one sign - one unquestionable, irrifutable piece of evidence - and all of us 'non-believers' will believe.
People say that He doesn't prove himself because we have to prove our faith.. But how can He expect us to have faith in Him when nobody has apparantly seen or heard Him for thousands of years? For an omniscient Being, that seems like a huge flaw in His plan.
"God works in mysterious ways". How do you know that? If He hasn't been seen, heard or even communicated with for so long, then how do you know how He works? How do you know He even still exists? Maybe he was some all-powerful being then, but what if he doesn't exist anymore? There's no way of knowing if He still exists, so it's a possibility.
According to the Bible, if we don't believe in God, then we're sinning and we're going to spend eternity in Hell. But surely, a kind, loving, fair God would give us the opportunity to 'see' Him, or how are we supposed to believe in Him?
If I were to say Elvis is still alive, you would ask for proof (when you were eventully convinced i'm not crazy), but if I couldn't show you any proof, would you still believe me? I doubt it. You'd want proof; you wouldn't be able to just take my word for it. So, without any proof of God's existence, why do people believ in Him?
The strangest arguement I hear is "But how did all this come to be? The trees, the sky, animals, you, me.. how did we get here?". Just because you don't know all the answers, it doesn't mean that whatever story you come up with must be the truth. You have no proof that God put all this here, and I have no proof that a Giant Blue Three Headed Penis Monster put all this here.. So why is my theory any less believable than yours?
