That's one of the reasons in my personal list of "reasons for atheism". You would think at least ONE of the heads of the various religions would be able to prove, conclusively, that god actually spoke to him. Instead, throughout history, we only get statements of "god said" or "god wants" followed by an assertion that it's true. Not only that, but as only one of many examples, there have been some horrifically EVIL Popes. Wouldn't you think god would have stopped a Pope from murdering, stealing, lying, and keeping a harem?
Anytime anyone tells us what god said, or what god wants, they are lying.
