I'll add to that and say that I would be likewise very confused as to why such an entity needed to hide its existence from everyone except those who already say they believe in it. Why should Saul be worth a Damascus Road experience while everyone else has to work with nothing more than poorly-written mythology and the testimony of the least reliable people on the planet, many of whom have an insidious, self-serving agenda?
