personal relationship with God?

[Retorth]

Yes, I agree with you on that one. It would make everything alot easier. But...
God wants us to believe in him through faith. If He showed himself to the entire world, what would be the sense in faith?

Hi again Truth

I must say, from all the debating you've involved yourself with, you seem like a pretty patient guy and I truly respect that. I think it really takes a lot of faith and perserverance standing up for what you believe in. I think that is admirable.

Though I'm sure everyone here will agree with me that your undeniable faith and the resilience you show in maintaining your own stand is respectable, I just cannot register faith without any convincement. It's like the tales of lochness for example, people claim to have seen it and some firmly believe it exists, but until it actually shows itself, this won't be the case.

I know you mentioned seeing a meteor streaking across the sky when you asked your god for a sign of his existence and you interpret that as the sign. However, it could have just as easily been a coincidence that the meteor was in that path and would cross over anyway. How you can take that as a sure sign is just something I could never do.
