Apparently it does...you're here to convince and convert, after all. If we thinks it's bs, you'll have failed. Does that matter, to you?

Listen, if God is that great, then why must we suffer your kind, instead of him doing it for you?

It's not that I want nothing to do with him. It's that I don't know conclusively that he exists, and the way he's portrayed in his holy book is not endearing. Gods having children is not a new thing there are many stories about people of divine birth, especially if you learn about Zeus. So someone being the son of a god isn't very impressive. Much less the idea that brutally murdering an innocent person somehow absolves a bad person of their sin. We have progressed enough as a culture that we don't believe blood has magical qualities, and that it's considered a breach of justice for a guilty person to scapegoat an innocent person.
It's not a simple thing. apparently the only way we can work this out conclusiely is if we die, or Jesus comes back in the second coming. In which case it's apparntly too late for some reason. which smells of a scam. Listen, the way is simple and narrow and easy. God made access to Him as easy as drinking water. Your faith is accounted for righteousness and not your life long obedience. God made the terms and it's simple. His mercy is rich but there is a ceiling and after the second coming, it's too late; just like when the doors of the ark were closed before the flood.

If it was simple and easy, almost everyone would get in. That isn't the case, though.

If you want nothing to do with God, then God will have nothing to do with you (hence, God giving people over to a reprobate mind).
You want to know God, then you turn to Him! According to this passage, He is faithful to turn to you.
How do you turn to God?
The only way to the Father is through the Son.
You cannot have the Father unless you have the Son.
Turning to God means to have faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
Denying Jesus means God will NOT turn to you.
If you profess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Is this what he means by "god turns to you"?

you are the one getting in the way of your salvation
God respects your will
Its not true to say that God isn't great because He doesn't force you to believe.

So, come on. Prove your god empirically.
On a side note, I'm always amazed by you folks barging in here, all bible quotes blazing. You really think, you have something new to lay on the table? Please don't tell me, you're feeling in some way chosen to spread the word. Heard that all when I was much younger. By more proficient preachers than you can ever hope to be. Didn't work out then and certainly won't work out when some internet dude is having a try.

Good point. His gawd is so completely incompetent and impotent that he can't even show up and prove he exists, in an age where all it would take would be one good viral video. Let your monster god speak for himself, preachy little boy.
