To provide some evidence?
God has provided the evidence that he wants us to have. Please don't take this as a personal insult Rob, but I'm trying to illustrate a point. God doesn't need to to kowtow to the specific demands of those who insult and deny him.

If he wants a relationship with me, I'll be waiting. He presumably knows where I live.

You must first want a relationship with him. The problem is, that means you must put him above yourself.

He needs me to put him above myself? That's pretty arrogant of him. And why can't he come tell me that himself? All it would take is literally a two-second "Hey I'm real" message or sign.

If god wants to continue to do an impression of something that doesn't exist, it's no skin off my nose. I'm not putting anyone above me, thanks very much. He's already a god, what more could he possibly want? If he wants to sit on my head, there's not much I can do about it.
If this is the evidence god wants me to have, then he should understand that it's not good enough for me. His problem, again.

Why would I want to have a relationship with him? Why would he be so picky about the type of relationship he wants that putting him above me is a requirement for that? I'd rather start at being acquaintences, then work our way up from there. I could take it or leave it, personally, much like any relationship I have with people I don't live with.

Even if God knows it, why would God tell Rekeisha what the four digit number you're thinking of is?
Better question: why wouldn't he?

In my mind I'm an action hero, beloved by all, and filthy rich. Unfortunately reality is different for me.
