He won't even reveal himself to you until you bend the knee and do what you're told. That's what A/S/K is. That's also why A/S/K is worthless: you can't get an answer you can trust, unless you place a great deal more trust in your imperfect, glitch-prone human brain than I place in mine.
A God truly interested in acquiring a following and establishing a meaningful relationship, he would not make it a requirement to guess the answer. He would not sit, entirely invisble to anyone who is either unwilling to commit to belief or in denial of his existence because of his invisibility. It defeats the purpose. Why would he want to limit his relationships to people who just do what they are told, without question, as opposed to those who actually use the brains they were given? What sort of relationship can you have with the weakest mental specimens of humanity? If that's what he wanted, he should have just made us incapable of being skeptical of him.
