So, for a sensitive child such as Terese of Liseaux, he might be able to reveal himself with only 2-3 lbs of "pressure" whereas with a more worldly person such as St. Augustine or St. Francis, he needed to use several hundred pounds of "pressure" just to get their attention.
Augustine would not have been moved by the light touch that God used on Terese, and she might have been crushed by the approach used on St. Paul.
God knows just what we need even before we ask him.
I don't care what you think about him if you can't show he exists. And this particular explanation for the lack of evidence of god, causes all my bullshit buzzers to go off simultaneously.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
