Why do you persist with gods that want nothing to do with you?

Why do you persist with gods that want nothing to do with you?

So... They exist but "want nothing to do with" me? Or is it everyone?

You say they are your gods. Why do they ignore you?

Perhaps the question can be re-phrased another way.

You have mentioned that you have not spoken to any gods. Good for you, I'd be worried if you had. Jon is suggesting that this may be due to these gods not wanting anything to do with you. That they do not exist is, I'm sorry, a given, but assuming that they did, just for the lulz, why do you imagine they don't speak to you?

(not the best way to begin this discussion, essentially parroting the two most annoying and horrendously inept god retorts we get around here btw -atheists beliefs, and "prove my gods blah blah blah")
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

What justification is there for a religion where its gods will not have anything to do with it?

The last Norse pagans converted to Christianity because they felt that stories such as Thor dressing up as a woman to trick a giant into marrying him so he can deck the wedding party and retreve his stolen magic hammer lacked a sense of the numinous. If it was starting to seem a bit silly to people a thousand years ago.

Necroposting FTW. I'm glad - the first page of this thread entertained me immensely for about 5 minutes, which is all I can stand of Mehm.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
