Seems like He isn't very straightforward in His existence, from my perspective.
You always hear talk about "God works in mysterious ways" and all that jazz.
Why is that? Why all the mystery?
Believers: Would you agree that God is mysterious?
Familiarity breeds contempt. If God were any closer, we would have no excuse for our sins. Is it not true that no man can see God and live?
When faced with issues such as that, I can see why many people are drawn to religions such as Buddhism and how it explains such things.Because there is huge disconnect between religion and reality.
If God wasn't "mysterious", we would have to conclude he was a psychopathic monster.
For instance, if someone saw their baby being raped, they would be expected to try and stop it. If they instead said "carry on", closed the door, and let the rapist finish, they would be considered a monster. But this is exactly what God does. And the justification is "God works in mysterious ways".

Because an objective, knowable, explainable god would not be much use to a theist. It would just be another part of existence subject to the laws of existence and not all powerful or a miracle worker.

The ice wall encircles the earth, and the weather is too severe to go past for any significant distance. But, anyways, flat-earth is simply my belief ... it doesn't affect me in any practical wayReally? Please explain how this would prevent people from falling off the end of the flat earth from everywhere.
You´ve got that only half right. It´s a square, not a circle.The ice wall encircles the earth, and the weather is too severe to go past for any significant distance. But, anyways, flat-earth is simply my belief ...
I didn't myself. What most people believe to be "Antarctica" is, in my interpretation, the ice wall.How did you verify that an ice wall encircles the earth?

No matter which way you go in your spherical earth towards the south pole, you'll reach Antarctica.
Take your spherical earth, flatten it out, "Antarctica" would be the ice wall:
