The thing I never understood is why the mystery around his existence, why would he do all of that and not make it absolutely clear that he exists?

Why does everything has to be a test of our faith?

The same way believing in Santa Claus is a test of children's faith. - JaxSean Mar 12, 07:38 4
- not so much imo, the kids are at least brought to and shown santa claus -- nm - dogbert Mar 12, 07:42 3
  - they don't come up with religion on their own either, for that matter... :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 12, 07:43 2
    - true, but it's easy to have faith in santa claus when you parents bring you up to him and say "here he is" -- nm - dogbert Mar 12, 07:51 1
      - Good point. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 12, 07:54
It isn't really faith if it's absolutely clear, is it? Of course the real question is, why require faith at all? -- nm - oblique Mar 12, 07:23 4
- no truth don't need faith it's obvious in itself - Danedukenuuk Mar 12, 08:00
- All I want is for God to have a show on PBS. "This week in God" - Guigue Mar 12, 07:25 2
  - I hope it wouldn't be like a Festivus celebration. "I've got alot of problems with you people!" -- nm - oblique Mar 12, 07:26 1
    - He would make a killer funny newspaper headlines review - Guigue Mar 12, 07:29
love is never simple I guess. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 12, 07:21
because it's much more gratifying to see you guys figure it out on your own. -- nm - God Mar 12, 07:21
