If you mean me, personally, I am not looking for gods. I see no reason whatsoever why any deity would keep itself concealed for some enigmatic purpose. At such time when a deity makes its presence known, then I will of course have no need to look for gods since their existence will become quite self-evident.

Might I add that if our hypothetical deity is omnipotent then it has clearly chosen to arrange reality in such a manner that I will not believe in it, and so I am merely following in the god's plan. Whenever such a god wishes otherwise, then I will believe in it whether or not I would choose to do so of my own accord.

I've been trying to say this for years, however, I've never been able to make it as succint and clear as this. I'll be stealing this one, I don't care what you say. ; )

Actually, I was commenting on the romantic notion of infallibility implicit in the author's comment: that if only evolution had more time, it would produce more perfect beings of a higher order than modern man.
