[edit] Just so you know, I can't answer my question either and I haven't met a single believer who can. That's why I'm an Atheist. The day someone successfully answers my question is the day I change my mind again.
I don't believe you are going to find any answer concerning God by making comparisons. I think if you are really interested, you would be seeking to find God by coming to understand what He requires of you. In coming to understand this, the why of it will manifest itself in time and the nature and identity of God will as well. It should be obvious that God is not going to reveal Himself to the world... yet. Demanding that God reveal Himself to you before you would be willing to change your mind concerning Him, is not how it works. He is God, you approach Him on His terms, not the other way around.
Your observation that not a single believer has been able to convince you shouldn't come as a surprise. I think any believer will tell you that conversion will never come from anything a believer might say. All a believer can do is provide information. It is the power of the Holy Spirit that converts, and this will never happen unless you are humble enough to be open to it and in tune with it. These things are a matter of choice.
I just wanted to reiterate that the mistake you are making is expecting someone or God to come to you. It is you who has to approach God on His terms, in prayer and in the name of Jesus Christ and through sincere scripture study... not to find fault, but to understand.
