What's your gut reaction to this?
If your god (if you believe Jesus is god) obliged to provide evidence for doubting Thomas why can he not do the same thing for other non-believers, peoples of different faiths and myself?
Its not exactly like he hasn't got all the time in the world if you're arguing he's eternal. What, does listening to angels sing him praises in Heaven constantly matter far more to him than his own creation?
Either way, your god concept is an ass.
When Jesus allowed Thomas to touch him, he said that Thomas' faith was complete with sight and blessed are those that believe without seeing. The Lord will provide evidence of his existence to you, if you are earnestly seeking him. He proved himself to me, even if I told you, no one respects my "delusional" opinion, so I'm sad to say, unless you actually take me seriously, then I'll tell you what happened.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6
