Philosophical Buddhist who is still an atheist

[Jeffonthenet]

Perhaps it is not God that failed, but you.

Also highly flawed.

First we have to deal with the fact that it's the responsibility of the one who initiates the communication to make sure their message is conveyed clearly and is well understood. Even if you can get past that, there's the fact that if there's something wrong with me, if I'm imperfect, then that's a failing on God's part, too. A perfect being cannot, by definition of the word 'perfect,' create an imperfect creation.

I edited my post to give more info, such as the contention that God is under no obligation to reveal himself to you.
