If it is already trying to interact with me, but failing to even get my attention, then this is not consistent with a supreme being.
Your conclusions show no understanding at all, you seem to have just reinforced your belief that atheists are stupid.
Atheism is, by default, a position of uncertainty. Of admitting the truth is not yet clear. You still haven't shown you actually understand what atheism is.
If I misread your position, I apologise. But that's all I can see, especially given what you have "learned", which reflect the things you have said from the start. If you want to show me otherwise, then please do so. Just telling me to look at your posts does not change their content, which I've already seen plenty of. Look at the title of this thread.
I think a reasonable person would be more willing to express some intellectual humility about their expectations of God's conduct. This doesn't mean one can't raise objections. Rather, it means a more thoughtful and reflective attitude before one expresses blind certitude in what God "needs" to do, that God is "failing to get your attention" etc.
You seem very certain of some very uncharitable interpretations. Suggestive of someone who bears a deep unhappiness about the idea of God's existence prior to discussion.
Not judging, but it's worth pointing out. These prior prejudices are powerful distorters of one's reasoning.
As for my conclusions, they aren't inferred so much as directly experienced. It's what I come across every day that I'm on here. And I'm ready to substantiate, if you want. Just so you know I'm not merely slandering atheists so much as reflecting my experience.
PS- your definition sounds like that of agnosticism, not atheism.
