Lazy Atheism?

[Thumpalumpacus]

 Wouldn't a deity want to reveal the truth to all of humanity? Not just to a small group. 

I think there are two things to be wary of in this argument. 

First, it seems to rely on your knowing what an omniscient deity would want to do. And second, on knowing how an omniscient deity would go about achieving its goals. 

You may be right, and you may have discerned exactly what that deity would do if it existed. On the other hand, none of us is omniscient, so it may not be reasonable to assume that a deity's goals and methods would be the ones we prefer. 

For example, we assume that efficiency is always a good thing, but a god of infinite abundance would have no need to be efficient.

You could contrast this with, for example, Hegel's argument (mostly taken from Boehme) that a World Spirit would necessarily have to evolve through dialectical progress, over a great deal of time.

The unspoken corollary to your reply here, then, is that while this god may be "omniscient", if he withholds revelation and salvation from a bunch of mere mortals, he probably is not omnibeneficent -- he is clearly picking favorites.

And no one gives a shit about Hegel, unless he was, you know, god's BFF.
