I will give you a short version:
If you gain knowledge, it only encourages you to be even more self-reliant, knowledge is power so it tends to puff the person up, which is the opposite of being humble. Humility is what we need since we are being asked by God to accept His charity. While trusting in a benevolent Creator is something the lowliest mature adult on earth can do, so faith (trust) is a humbling experience and humility is what we need to humbly accept charity.
Did you ever think maybe he.does not want to kill people. The point of most aithiest is I cant believe without proof and I will accept no proof other than physical evidance. To give you thathe would need to bring you before him. To do that without faith in Jesus would kill you because he is a consuming fire. Christians aproach him in jesus.
A huge hand could write on the moon every day: "I exist" and people could have knowledge of his existance that way.
Why doesn't God do what it would take to get atheists to believe he exists?
a) God doesn't want atheists to believe he exists
b) God isn't capable of doing what it would take to get atheists to believe he exists
c) God doesn't know what it would take to get each atheist to believe he exists
No we would say it was aliens or mass hystaria someone pulling a prank. Knowing he exist without submitting to the obvious reprecusions of said knowledge drives people deeper into darkness. He loves you...if you reject him there is no loving reason to make your life any harder.
D. God has brought into finite existence (from a state of nothingness) a complete Universe that has highly personal, vastly intelligent, and enormous specified complexity by way of deliberate information as found in the DNA molecule.....has provided you with a human anatomy having some 60 major anatomical systems working in collaboration , has given you a Soul that consists of a non material Mind/Will/Emotions/Abtract thinking, etc.... and you complain that 'God hasn't given you enough evidence to believe in a personal theistic Creator ' .
Is there any chance 'atheism' is a willful charade game that people play so they can remain distanced from God due to pride, arrogance and rebellion to partake in lifestyles of ones choosing whether moral or not ?
Wow you would really have to have a wopping faith to belief "Aliens did it as a foke for thousands of years?

Sounds like projection.
TheyCallMeDavid,
re: "D. God has brought into finite existence (from a state of nothingness) a complete Universe..."
Any thoughts on when this may have taken place?

Can you think of another reason why an 'Atheist' wouldn't want to publicly admit that a personal Theistic Creator is required for our personal, intelligent , information-laden Universe other than not wanting to have him as an authority in Ones life ? The excuse of 'I just don't see any scientific evidence' just doesn't cut it anymore except for the Fool Hearty.
Given the facts that "TheyCallMeDavid" has shown, as well as the fact of the changes that knowing God has brought about in him, to continue to say that there is no "evidence", when this one person is evidence in himself, is ludicrous.
And that's just one changed life.
Methinks thou dost protest too much....
Saying it just doesn't cut it anymore, may make you personally feel better about your belief, but those who chose not to believe something, for lack of evidence or evidence to the contrary, is usually something they can't ignore, if they like to be honest with themselves.
So, you go ahead and call it fool hearty, if it makes you feel better.
If its not for lack of scientific evidence that one desires to be an atheist (as ive had a few atheists tell me)...then what ARE the reasons if I may ask you please ? If you believe the answers vary greatly among professed Atheists, then please list the answers for yourself . Thanks.
Perhaps they have not been drawn to the Lord? Would it not make sense if one is spiritually dead they would make sense out of the universe however they could? The only reason any of us know God is through his actions alone.
