That said if you wanted to meet the President, do you think you could just text him and he drop everything he was doing to come proove himself to you.. Or do you think there is a proceedure you must first subject yourself to in order to meet Him? If we understand we have to respect the proceedures in place to meet a simple leader of a country, then why do we assume the Master and Commander of ALL of creation is at our beckon call?
A/S/K as out lined in Luke 11 is the proceedure Christ says we must to in order to have Proof of God. If you can not humble yourself enough to A/S/K then God will not 'see you.'
The flaw here is that we have independent means to verify the existence of Obama. We can see pictures of him, watch his speeches, even do some verifiable research into him if we want. Obama is not claiming to be miraculous and capable of suspending the laws of reality. So the fact that it may be difficult to get a meeting with Obama isn't so much of an issue; we know he exists because at the very least we can be in the same room as he walks past. He does have a physical presence.
Meanwhile, god; no pictures, no recordings, no verifiable witnesses. And what witnesses we do have vary wildly; you don't have people seeing Obama speak on, say, gun control, and have some people coming away with the impression he's in favor of it, and another group coming away just as fervently sure he's against it. Oh, and their Obama is eighty feet tall and can shoot lightning.
See, you can't pretend they're at all alike; the real, demonstrable evidence for Obama converges to a set of known facts. The spotty, second hand subjective evidence for god fractures and splits, over and over, and not a one of you is able to demonstrate his existence outside of simply demanding that he does.
