This is NOT an angry post, this is only a question. A creator should not have to prove himself to what he created. Maybe he does favor some more than others. Maybe he isnt a fair and justified god. Religion and man's ignorance says he is an all loving god. But why couldn't he be the other. These aren't necessarily my beliefs, just things to consider. What if earth is hell? We were sent here to be punished? Again, things to think about.Indeed. But that is not the type of god peddled out to the masses and there is no more evidence of this god/gods than the traditional montheistic god. As for whether a god wishes to remain hidden, it is about as convincing as saying the invisible man exists and is amongst us and steals our car keys, but just doesn't want to let it be known. Of course it could be true, but there are lots of other good explanations as to why things happen without invoking such beings. I find the hiddenness of a god to be a powerful argument against theism.
