But if angels appeared people will believe in god ; god doesn't want an easy path like that.
And that is why I don't believe in a god. "Hey, all you had to do was whisper in my ear. You went on vacation, fine, but don't get pissed off because atheism is growing." The idea that god is dishonest, because he gets off playing these games of hide and seek, where he can never be found by the unbeliever, are cute, but are diminished what he is supposed to be.
One of my major rules: I will never pray to a god who is more emotionally or mentally messed up than I am!
