Oh but he "knows" god exists, so he couldn't do that.
I thought most of you were Agnostic Soft Atheists, so on what basis do you dismiss them?
I dismiss religions on individual basis. I am also inclined to believe no religions are revealed because of absence of revelation today backed up by proofs.
For example, if God wanted to guide us, he could easily descend a billion books from the sky all over the world, books that could not be destroyed or burned or changed.
He could easily do this.
The fact he doesn't go out his way to guide us, tells me he wants us to think for ourselves.
Also having thought things through, I've realized Deism shows more benevolence and care of a Creator, then sending revelations, because the former emphasizes on personal growth while the latter will make us sheep/slaves and I think God is not the dictator type of leader.
