How would man behave if God were to constantly reveal Himself?
He is contorting the argument: we are talking about a God who is always hidden which is different from occasionally revealed, and not to mention constantly revealed. He said "constantly reveal Himself" as if God ever revealed himself like once a year, or over the holidays, or on weekends, or whenever he sees his parents.
Or maybe this guy never saw his parents?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
