I'm talking about the one God and you're talking about peoples' images of who or what he is.

There's plenty of atheists who have tried, or are trying, to determine if there is a God.  I've conversed with them in this forum.

Christian arrogance rears its ugly head.

No more arrogant than atheists who mock theists.  I'm just stating my honest opinion.
I think it is.  You claim knowledge without evidence.  We only ask for evidence. And most attempt to waive away the lack of evidence is mock-worthy.

Atheists may follow your line of reasoning to show how empty it can be, but an atheist looking for the entity they don't believe exists is a contradiction.

I don't think you understand what the word 'directly' means.

Maybe I should have used the word "specifically", although God did directly send that person to find me.
