Really?

Don't know myself, having never been a Christian and not caring at all what the most annoying questions for Christians might be.

So you imagine something that doesn't exist and then say that the thing which doesn't exist has it's reasons for hiding so well that it looks like it doesn't exist but you don't know those reasons. GIGANTIC FAIL.

Proverbs 2:3-6

If you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

I suppose I never found God because I never tried it.

So you gave up all and searched for him with your whole heart? If so, Shame on God for not answering your prayer!

But I don't know your circumstances or the graces that were given or how much you entirely devoted yourself to seeking God with purity of intention...So I simply have to go by your Word.

And I'm not saying you are a liar.

I believe I have received grace from God. If it weren't for that I'd be dead, in a psyche ward or jail, or would be a murderer. I have had answered prayers, but never the way I wanted. WIthout Faith I cannot survive. Some diabetics require insulin injections for survival. Well, my insullin is my faith and hope that motivates me to charity, with a new desire to be purged of selfish living, to develop compassion and be of service to others.

God doesn't exist just because you believe in him.

As for murderers and jails. Why do diseases exist?

So do you accept that there were hominid species which divided into apes and humans? Yes or No.
