This is why your god gets accused of being lazy, among other criticisms. People who genuinely want to find god aren't finding him, despite his supposed knocking on the door of every soul. It's not a catch 22. It's moving the goalposts.
You mention the word GENUINELY.
Very interesting Chad.
How would you know whether these people were GENUINE or not?![]()
I know countless religious people who just say that they are religious but within they are interested mainly in materialism.
Materialism make it impossible to be pure within and of course make it impossible to open the door to God.
People have to choose.
They can't have both.
The no true Scotsman fallacy, and false dichotomy. You're really rolling with these. Yes we all know there are some people that say they're christians just to get along with the rest of a community that might equate being an atheist as being immoral. But there are people who have genuinely tried, and felt nothing. Why does your god have more trouble communicating with me than my parents do?
