Many of you identify this is disbelief or atheism. So in essence Atheism is apart of what you asked for, only knocking will bring you back to God on the other side.
Drich, you seem to be unaware that, in order to do your ASKing, we need to believe in the existence of the being to whom we should be ASKing, in the first place.
That doesn't work.
On the other hand, you also have believers failing at implementing the auto-enhancing self-brainwashing tactic outlined in Luke... To me, that says that the methodology is not at all obvious. Why would such a full-proof method of having personal evidence for the existence of loving deity be so hard to grasp, even for believers?!
Why would the written word require your helping hand at interpreting and guiding those who failed to implement it properly, due to, apparently, a poor understanding of the text?
