'Seeking' God

[lucent]

Can xtians possibly refrain from telling atheists that it is their fault they haven't found god/ Jesus. It's a stoopid ad hominem because theism can't answer the problem of the hiddenness of god. This particular fallacy was presented in "the emperors new clothes". Theists just like the tailors have nothing to offer, but attempt to project their empty handiness onto atheists. To offer up a choice to your fellow humans of either you have found god already or you haven't looked hard enough is an empty con trick, nothing more. The one obvious probability that seems to have escaped your attention is that god doesn't exist, just like the emperors jacket.

I haven't found god, I haven't looked and I don't care. I'm delighted for you that you have gone looking and found god, if it makes you happy. Just don't expect others to when no part of reality backs you up.

I can indeed answer the problem of the hiddenness of God: He isn't hidden. The existence of God is actually extremely obvious, especially from the design standpoint. The truth of that is displayed in the Creation itself. The incomplete and unworkable explanations science offers does not explain away design. For the specific problem of the hiddenness of Jesus Christ, there are two things to say:

2 Corinthians 4:4

In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Unbelievers are deceived by the devil and blinded from seeing the truth about the gospel. Note, being deceived means you aren't aware you are deceived: ie, the reality you're looking at seems plausible without Jesus in it.

2nd, He isn't really hidden either. One of His central claims is this:

John 14:6

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Meaning that no matter what you do, you will not find the truth, or God, without Him. Now you've stated that you have never gone looking for Him, so I would ask how you would know whether God is hidden or not?
