what is the difference between baking a cake and a loaf of bread? The ingredience are basically the same, flour, milk eggs, butter, baking soda etc.. so why when following the directions of bread, do I not come out with cake?
Does this example begg the question in your opinion? If it does then maybe you should look up the term you are misusing, before I get the pleasure of doing it for you.
It is indeed begging the question, to wit: you're citing the Bible's recipe to find god, when it is the veracity of that evil book that is in question. Also, if you have to believe in god in order to see him, then you're requiring presupposition.
So your god isn't even smart enough to figure out that he'd get more followers if he actually showed up every so often ... why should I worship a dingbat like that?

It looks like Adam, Eve, Moses, Noah, and a host of others didn't get that memo.
