We all bear witness to the actions of God. It has been told to us that God dropped off ancient holy books in the middle of a dry barren desert, surrounded them by venomous snakes and scorpions, and ensured that only the most advanced apologetically inclined Yale or Oxford graduate with an advanced doctorate degree in Debating and Godly Divinity can accurately understand them. How merciful.
It's almost like God wants people to roast in the fires of hell; you know, doing the least amount of work to ensure disbelievers remain disbelievers - being told that God cares about such things. Because if Allah or Jesus actually wanted disbelievers to become believers, then he could accomplish it in about 5 minutes flat. No time need be wasted on preachers, or long convoluted stories or gospels, or warmongering prophets who spend millennia doing what the lord could get done in about 5 minutes. It's almost like he wants us to burn forever - doing the most pathetic and absolute least amount of work one would expect from a god, and then becoming eternally pissed with us for accepting the nothingness we were given. It's almost like he struggles with forgiveness, requiring work and effort, and the blood and sacrifice and animals and Mary's children. How graceful.
In truth, atheists exist. Atheists don't exist because they choose to exist, but because the choice was made for them. God can end atheism in a matter of minutes, yet God has refused to. If God no longer wants Joe to be an atheist, then Joe will no longer be an atheist - which makes the work God's alone, and not mine or yours, or even Joe's.
Though we all bear witness, most of us refuse to believe what we see God doing.
