No need to avoid sinning, all is forgiven?

If you are alive I can say that you have not asked sought or knocked as protrayed in Luke 11. That means if you have not received a measure of the Holy Spirit it is because you have not sought after God as perscribed.

I assume you're talking about these verses: 9“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

I don't see anything specific in this verse regarding a precise exact formulaic way of asking God. At best all I see is just a general principle of prayer. And I don't see how it relates at all to nonbelievers getting proof of God's existence.

I can assure you that myself and probably many other atheists have specifically asked God in prayer for proof of his existence many times and got nothing
My ignore list
