Or, as I see it, since the strong minded cannot detect him, then only the weak minded ones can.
Therefore, god rejects the strong minded people and seeks only the weak minded ones to serve and obey...
Not really.. many great minds did find that god exist.

But being just, he can't judge those people before "they" act. It's not like humans are forced, we act by our free will but god knows the outcome.

It's for the same reason which I mentioned to thesummerqueen. I'm feeling disoriented & scattered because other complicated factors are not explained.

The mere fact that people believe in angels should demonstrate that there is no all-powerful being. How is it that some people, long dead, claim to have been given messages from god and he decided to shut up and go someplace else? Oh, wait, I know, it's part of his "test", because that's what he does when he isn't busy running the entire universe, he is focused on some guy in Independence Missouri who has finally waekened his strong mind to the point that he is ready to believe in her.
Nah. Sounds too much like the greek stories I read as a kid about Zeus. Interesting god, but had a shrew for a wife!
EGross, as far as you understand religion , why do you think we're here ?
