Why knocking is so important.

[Drich]

I love that you're comparing world leaders, for whom we have plenty of evidence that they exist, and can be provided pictures of on demand, with god, as though they're remotely equal.

what you have is the belief that those who we identify as world leaders are indeed the decision makers we believe them to be. This 'faith' is based on what we have been told by our governments. For example the queen of England is little more than a figure head with no real executive power. So what keeps her in her current role? The faith of the people that wish to keep her in that role and the authority of the government that enacts the want and will of all who believe her to be the queen.

Remember, before you can answer "why won't god appear?" you've got a much more basic question, that you seem simply incapable of answering properly: "does he exist?"

Again that is not my question to answer. God answers all of those who will simply meet Him on His terms. That is like asking a British subject to provide you with proof of the authority of the queen, when you had the ability and access to speak with her directly.

Why seek a second hand account when you have the option to seek it directly from the source, unless your scared of what you might find out.

What about when you are seeking a wife? Like in our search for God all we have to go on is the fact that others have found what they were looking for, even though this in no way means you will experience what they do, nor is their any guarantee that you will even date someone. Yet most of us are willing to try/knock till we find what it is we are looking for.
That is the nature of any relationship, how can anyone claim that is an I falsifiable premise when it is apart of our everyday lives?

Well for one thing, most people don't doubt the existence of other people. You can't equate meeting actual living, breathing people and trying to seek some supposed all-powerful being which has no known evidence in favour of it existing. If you/it wants us to "knock" at least give us some support (actual support, not some book a bunch of guys wrote in the bronze age, or someone's personal testament) for your claims.

This assessment would only be true if everyone who wants a wife is guaranteed to find one. There are those who never find a mate. Therefore the search for 'the one' can be equated to the search for God, as not all who ask and seek will find. Especially if one does not knock, holds fast to what their idea of what 'the one' is supposed to be, and will not accept the evidences of what has been placed I front of them.
