Do you think you'll ever find oxygen with that attitude? How would you recognize oxygen with that attitude?
I think you should consider that the problem is not that there is no book or path or clear proofs regarding the path or that God didn't show the way to knowing him nor that you lack the means to recognize him,
I'm with you up to here.

It is only a problem for you, not us. Yeah I know full well how to become convinced that god exists and to pick a favorite book to back me up. I just have no desire to do that. I prefer to believe those things I find reason to think are true. You prefer to use reason to support those things you wish were true.
My disbelief is a problem for you because you want to live in a world in which everyone agrees the emperor is wearing the most splendid of clothing. But, I'm telling you, the guy is naked.
