You say, "[H]e doesn't seem to anymore." What evidence is there to support this? What makes it "seem" that God doesn't interact with people?
And what "lack of evidence" are you talking about? The fact that I couldn't personally give an account of God interacting with me?
Quote:I haven't been presented with any account of god appearing to people (you certainly don't seem to be interested in providing me with such an account) so how could I automatically dismiss the account? More directly, why would you feel such a comment applied to me?
I've heard lots of different accounts of God acting in people's lives in church. If you haven't ever heard a Christian give that kind of testimony, then I think you must not talk to very many. I'm sure there's lots of places you could find that kind of thing online.
But that's your responsibility. If you want to gather the evidence for the claim that you keep claiming "seems" true, then go. Gather.
