But, isn't there a "running theme" with God? And I'm talking Christian here. "GOD IS A LIVING GOD". There is nothing circular about Jesus and His Word!
It's man's interpetation of God that is corrupted, and chasing his tail. We all deny in [some form] what God has made self-evident to us.
LIFE, LOVE, TRUTH, HAPPINESS.....in exchange for FREEDOM(S)!
Freedom used to mean something important to a slave. Now? It means whatever "I WANT TO DO, SAY, ACT or BELIEVE".
The main issue with Anti's? You want God to prove Himself to you! Well...Free Will, (aka Freedom) means we don't need any proof!
And here's the interesting part: I have free will to believe, you have free will not to believe!
Proof means nothing to either, a true believer, or a true non-believer. Just as I'm sure you would indeed prostrate yourself if He did show-up!?
There is nothing "I, or anyone else" can say, do, or scribe in our bellies..... that will change someones heart!

God says...."HERE I AM, in the coos of a new born child, in the majestic mountains, in a beautiful sunrise at dawn, on a peaceful lake at dusk, in the vastness of the night sky....
I'm in everything that is alive and GOOD! I'm deep down in the tiny warm spot of your hearts....trying to get you to LOVE ME."
"Because...EVERYTHING I HAVE WILL BE YOURS.....IF ONLY YOU BELIEVE IN ME."
...."and I hid my face from them....but for a moment."
