Are you kidding? Do you really think the God who created this world is not going to reveal Himself to mankind?

You can go right on thinking that you were created in the image of God, but please realize that such is wishful and self-serving thought.

Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear. -- Thomas Jefferson

"You can go right on thinking that you were created in the image of God, but please realize that such is wishful and self-serving thought."

Only if God is a liar.

" God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? (Num. 23:19)

"Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear. -- Thomas Jefferson"

The scriptures do not call us to blind faith, but to know why we believe what we believe "...be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear." (1 Pet. 3:15")
