I, for one, did ask with sincerity. Not just when I was a Mormon, but when I converted to Christianity after realizing my first religion was stupid. It took me a lot less time to figure out that Christianity was no different when I still got no answer. The fact that you are getting an answer says more about your mental state than about whether God exists.
Nice one word summation of Mormonism.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

If they're the kind of people that are admirable and virtuous and serene with the peace of God within them; that would be evidence that they have something special going for them that no one else has. Those types seem equally distributed among all religions and none, Christians aren't special in that regard...and most of them don't even try to be. I've never had a problem with a Christian because they're too forgiving, kind, and charitable.
And when we do see portrayals of that (caricatures like fucking Ned Flanders) it makes everyone's stomach turn, not just the non-believers.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

No answer for you tells me about your heart state with God.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

When someone misses your phone call does that mean you do not exist.

You can't even get an analogy right. I know I exist and that God missed my phone call, his phone number is disconnected and has been since forever. I think what you meant to say was "If you miss someone's phone call it doesn't mean they don't exist." Something I sadly know all to well thanks to phone scammers. But I didn't miss God's call. He didn't call at all.

Hopefully the dickheads have an answering machine. Otherwise, fuck 'em. Who needs them?

My analogy is quite correct, you missed God's call and just because you missed it doesn't in any way mean god's not real.

Maybe he should have left a message. Jesus christ, GC, still with the phone analogy? That's about as complicated as you can muster, isn't it. The lord of the cosmos and the entirety of christian tradition, all reduced to a game of phone tag. Good job.

If I miss someone's call it shows up in my "missed calls" list. I don't see god's number, so he didn't call. He still doesn't exist. The voices in your head aren't him. And your analogy was still incorrect regardless of how many times you say it wasn't.

You'd think god would get with the times. Stop calling (and not leaving any messages) and send me an email!
