I don't get the whole "god doesn't go where he's not wanted" thing. Wasn't there some story about Yahweh wanting someone to go to Nineveh, and the guy saying he didn't want to, so Yahweh had a whale swallow him and hold him for three days until he finally went? Or an older prophet that told Yahweh that there were better people out there than him to send a message to? Or how about sending military forces to other tribes because they didn't worship him, and tell his followers to kill them all?
The idea that he doesn't show signs to nonbelievers, or he doesn't bother people who don't want to worship him, makes no sense because he did those things in the bible. People will complain that the government "took prayer out of schools", despite silent prayer being an acceptable way to communicate with the lord, and blaming school shootings on that.
People will say crazy things in an effort to hold onto what they believe. It's saddest for people who do it because they've been indoctrinated in it since childhood, and are afraid of being betrayed by their very family members or closest friends.
