I would say we should have a sit down and discuss what you did to earnestly seek God
In other words, I'll just claim that no matter what you did, you didn't do it right or didn't do it enough.

Are you positive you didn't already have what you wanted in mind, many have talked themselves right out of a relationship with God. Only asking to see if you might have considered you wanted God not to be real.
And you're an idiot. You think I wanted to give up the religion I was born into and one which my wife still practiced? I never once in my life ever considered atheism as valid until I had serious doubts and the last vestiges of my faith were slipping away. And this was after I had prayed to God to show me that he exists and wants me to worship him. So just stop with the "You just don't want to believe" crap. I think it would be wonderful if there was some all-powerful cosmic being who loves humanity and is watching over us and taking care of us. But I just can't make myself believe that it is so.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
