Yours isn't even an argument.

Unless you are, or speak for, the sumbitch, you cannot say shit. And the fear bit? You speak for everyone else on the planet?

show me one time a successful attempt at forcing love. i'm not speaking for the planet, i'm speaking for what is possible and impossible. you can't force love. if God revealed himself, humans would either fear and try to become self-righteous or fear him and rebel against him. neither of those reactions are what God wants. tell me, if God showed up to you and showed you his awesome power, would this cause you to love him?

Excuses, excuses, excuses... I guess that's why they call it apologia...
If such a god does in fact exist AND does not want us to actually know about it, then how do you know about it?
How does anyone know about it?
Why would I be required to believe what you people say about it?
Love from gullibility?... no, thank you.

If such an entity would appear to me and show me, beyond a doubt, that it was indeed the creator god, I'd like to have a bit of a chat as part of that demonstration. I'd expect to be convinced that it had darn good reasons to do whatever has been done in the past by said entity. Heck, this wouldn't be beyond its power, would it?
Love is earned, like respect and admiration. Not believed into existence.
