If God does exist then he must be hiding somewhere. Been a long time since he showed up in public. All we seem to have is this old book called the Bible. If God is all powerful and is everywhere - then why is he so inaccessible? Why doesn't he have a web site? Why doesn't he have an e-mail address? Why can't we call him on the phone? Why doesn't he appear on television? Why doesn't he update the Bible and do book signings at Barnes and Noble? Why doesn't he give speeches at the United Nations? He's not even registered to vote! (Although we all know that if God were here that he'd be a white American male and vote for Republicans.)
God is not only hiding - but for some reason God is so powerless that God needs to act through us to accomplish anything. If God has something to say then he has to make someone speak gibberish (tongues) and someone else interpret that. I've seen that happen and it's a scary scene. One has to assume that either God really is speaking through these people - or that these people are seriously mentally deranged. Most likely the latter because if God is all powerful you would think he would have basic communication skills. You'd think he'd show up as a burning bush and speak for himself!
One has to conclude that God is at least hiding for some reason and that there is enough evil in the world that he's obviously not involved. Or - everything is going exactly as planned and therefore what I am writing now is part of God's plan - even though I will burn in Hell forever for writing it. Is God testing us? Why would he have to do that? Since he can see the future - he already knows what the results are. I guess the invisible guy in the sky will remain invisible.
