Understanding others is often an exercise of imagination. Can you imagine believing in an all powerful being that sees your every move and controls everything. Now imagine saying to yourself, well if I just rationalize really well it will go away. Can't do it? Neither can I.
It's reason, not rationalization. There is no god to fear.
I still "am who I am." Ready to believe I'm god yet? Thought not.
Noticed the taunt did you? Well maybe it will remind you in future that some attempts to prove god are beyond silly. They are insulting.
What you are arguing is that those who don't believe in your god are willfully blind. Yes I know it's scripture. But read the bolded part above. Now ask yourself, is god really self evident to those who don't believe?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
