I'm sorry, but those ignorant sloths have never read the book of Revelation or "The Ouzo Prophecy."

But that's what you don't understand. God doesn't wish for us to be able to understand all of him, or if he does, he wants those who really seek the understanding to be the ones to find it. What's the point of just giving us the knowledge beforehand? There'd be nothing for us to do whole we're here!
Gko cannot fail at creating anything as that is in the definition of who he is. In this context, he has chosen not to give us all the answers despite that fact.

God and Allah were created by Man in His own image. That is why the Abrahamic deities are entirely focused on human morality.

Any universal entity is not going to have the slightest interest in human morals, which are merely the ever-evolving rules of engagement adopted by intelligent social species. It's not as though we judge the performance of our bodies' microbes. As professionals we trust each other to do our jobs :)

Yet another moron on the site that can read the mind of God!!!

Just because you don't know it, doesn't mean that I or someone else doesn't know it. It's similar to the Argument from incredulity.

Knowing is based on evidence. You know shit.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself for such delusion.

Delusions are based on a lack of evidence, so what I know is not a delusion.

I have evidence that you are in fact deluded.
You believe in god a thing for which you can have no evidence; a thing for which you can produce no evidence.

Provide YOUR evidence that there is no God.

The thing is - God will provide evidence on a personal level to individuals that had some FAITH. Atheists that run around like headless chickens asking for evidence from those that do KNOW it exists should actually comprehend a thing called FAITH, which was simply asked of us from the outset. Atheists will never be given the evidence.
I have provided far more evidence of God than you could ever muster for a contrary argument.

No evidence is needed to prove something does not exist.

Absolutely there is! Just because you specifically haven't interacted with something or don't believe in it doesn't mean it does not exist. I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands of people that you've never met, but if you were to say that because of that, they don't exist, does that make them not exist? You'd need proof.
