True enough. Hopefully you won't think God silent forever.
Hopefully He speaks up. Because unlike Him, I don't have 'til forever.
Have you ever attended a Lutheran church (specifically, LCMS)?
No.
Simply not interested in atheist evangelism. Nothing of value in it.
No I have not. The only church I've ever attended was Catholic and I wasn't really paying attention.
What do the Lutherans have to say?
Imagine that a famous philosopher of religion has developed a new argument regarding the existence of God. If you are a theist, imagine that the philosopher is an atheist arguing against the existence of God. If you are an atheist, imagine that the philosopher is a theist arguing for the existence of God.
This philosopher's argument is considered to be the single most conclusive argument regarding God's existence every devised. 90% of the people who have heard the argument have reversed their position, including some of the biggest names in the field, people who have written books and debated in favor of their position for their entire professional lives. All it takes is to listen to a thirty-minute presentation explaining this new argument.
The philosopher is coming to your hometown and will be presenting his argument.
Would you go and listen?

Why not? Have you that little faith in your beliefs that you won't even hear someone out? Are you afraid they might convince you?

Well on that we can agreeNot at all. It's just that I'm not interested and, after 2,000 years of Christian theology, thought, and philosophy, I doubt he's going to say anything we haven't heard before.

I can understand that view coming from a theist. And I don't mean that in any bad way.
