And I'm pretty sick of snake-oil salesmen disrespecting me because I don't share their fantasies and their imaginary friends.
All of that "you have to SEEK", "you have to PRAY", "you have to FEEL HIM IN YOUR HEART" is crap that only works in group-think tribal gatherings where people feed on each other's emotions and suspend critical thinking skills. And it's crap that is pure manipulation. Witch doctors have gotten away with that "believe me or burn" bullshit for thousands of years, and it's well beyond time for people listening to them to say "put up or shut up". PROVE IT.
Not a single preacher, Pope, Imam, Priest, Guru, etc., has been able to offer a single millisecond's worth of proof that a deity exists in the last 2000 years at least. The Pope has no proof. Prove it, without religious books or writings, without a human being yammering on about their fantasy witness stories, without "apologetics". If your God can't prove its own existence all by itself, it's not worth a moment's attention.
If you don't have anything to do with the above, you should be fairly contented I'd imagine, but your language says otherwise.

Like a work of art that has no artist if the artist can't be seen.
Or a book that has no author, if he or she doesn't show up on demand by those who would like to burn the book.

You don't believe in it either. You are unable to determine if you beleive in bible god, or some sect of bible god or some peculiar god you made up.
By now, you are not even a christian, since most of those would hold you to be a heretic.
So barging into people's doors as a JW didn't work for you, but now as a confused atheist you claim to know what Christianity is?
Which flag are you flying?
