Theists, tell me, an atheist, why your God has neglected to show himself to me?

[Mr.Obvious]

Maybe because you're an asshole? 

Exactly right. It's like calling a woman a bitch and wondering why she won't go out you.

Actually, it's Like having a woman who builds you in a lab, programs you to call her a bitch and then refuses to go out without because you called her a bitch.
More or less.

One would think that 'god' would be above such an attitude but given the attitudes of the morons who invented him, maybe not.

So "like" calling your god a bitch is all it takes for it not to "go out" with a nonbeliever; yet it can't keep its hands off - among others - Falwell, Haggard, Hovind Senior, Mary Whitehouse, Muggeridge, Ken Ham... all of whom have a reputation for getting rich off lying to the gullible and in some cases blatant hypocrisy? Not to mention being horrible human beings.

I know many women have a wide-on for 'bad boys' but there's such a thing as taking an analogy too far. Or in your case, not far enough.

Is god your woman? Does She like it when you make her your bitch?

Thread title: So if god does show up what does it flash you with, invisible penis, ghost vag? Has a theist ever told us what gods junk is?

Is it worth asking for a citation for these declarative statements about what "God" does and doesn't respond to?

Silly me.

If that were true how would you explain Christians?

It's more like calling a ghost or a unicorn a bitch and wondering why she won't go out with you.

Nothing's going to happen no matter what you say,..

[Neo-Scholastic]

Just go back, ya'll and read the OP. Don't blame me for calling him out. He isn't even open to the possibility that there is a God and makes all kinds excuses for not doing so. Is divine hiddeness a real issue that needs to be addressed by theists? Sure. And maybe we could have that conversation but not with someone who has clearly already made up his mind and closed off any willingness to be persuaded otherwise.

Initially, I was going to take a pass on this thread because clearly the poster isn't serious. Maybe I should have. It grates on me that the rest of you cannot acknowledge that the OP is being an even bigger ass than me. It's that kind of group think, the unwillingness of atheist AF members to call out each other no matter how inane another atheist is, that makes me want to stop participating on AF altogether. For Pete's sake try to think for yourselves. Most of the Christians on AF are willing to debate each other on theological points despite the atheist heckling on the sidelines. Seems to me we're the real free thinkers and not you batch. (rant over)

[John V]

I of course was being snarky, but seriously: God doesn't chase after every person until the moment they die. It can happen, as we see with the thief on the cross, but in general, God gives people over to their sin at some point in their life and that's that. Read Romans 1:18-32. We've brought this up before.
