If he expects subservience and obedience, then he could at least show his face and make it known.
If he deserves respect and worship, then we deserve more.
Let’s get it straight. I do not doubt for a minute that God MIGHT exist. In that, I mean that all the variables according to physics and mathematics exist.
But I gave up a long time ago believing that god cares about the affairs of men.
What led you to believe that God doesn’t care about the affairs of men?
Your perspective is a familiar one.
However . . . I suggest that
NOTHING
in your ENTIRE life experience . . . NOTHING, ZIP, NADA, 0.00000000000000000000000000000000% OF ANYTHING
has
EVER
DEMONSTRATED TO YOU
THAT
one can safely, successfully [and certainly NOT wisely]
PRESUME
to dictate to a greatly higher ranking entity
what that entity MUST do
to comply with
YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR RELATIONSHIP.
Yet, you persist in demanding that God conform to your expectations and requirements for relationship.
Curious, that.
NOTHING in your experiences suggests that would be a successful strategy.
Yet you persist with it as though it is somehow, oddly,
your “divine” right.
I’m sure God’s VERY impressed with your cheek.
HINT:
ALMIGHTY GOD
DICTATES
the terms and manner of RELATIONSHIP.
Or . . . as Bill Cosby says . . .
NOAH, HOW LONG CAN YOU TREAD WATER?
and as God says to Job . . .
Where were you when I laid the foundations of the world?
BTW, He doesn’t show HIS face to mortals.
Even Moses only got to see, in Moses’ mortal state, the ‘back part’ of God’s GLORY . . . whatever that mysteriously means.
On the other hand, Christ said those who’ve seen Christ, have seen The Father . . . whatever that means in precise terms.
Well, He did in the person of Jesus.
However if you choose to dismiss that well documented historical event, He is still capable of making Himself know to those who sincerely desire to know Him.
Life is no bed of roses and all of us struggle with the sin and evil that exists in the world, wondering why, and all the answers just seem like so many platitudes.
However, physical creation demonstrates the necessity of a creator.
The greater the capacity for good, the greater the capacity for evil. If the creator were not perfectly good, he would be so completely evil that it would obliterate everything not of him self. Thus the creator HAS to be good in spite of our not understanding how he could allow evil to exist.
Philosophers have been wrestling with the question for eons and I don't think anyone is likely to come up with an answer now.
However, challenge God if you want. Dare Him to prove Himself to you. He can handle it; it's not going to offend Him any. And it will be a win/win situation for both of you.
