Well we all know that God doesn't appear to all people, so when they made up the story they had to take that into account.
Very true Harbal!
Well, it would be true except that God does appear to all people, perpetually. However, God is not perceived for a lot of folks because the transmitting frequency is open but the receivers are not.
God is a fictitious character, Walker, so if he's ever appeared to you, you are probably nuts.

:lol:

An effective skeptic first checks available resources because bleating ignorance ain’t too convincing to those not in the choir.

Begin your journey to enlightenment here young Harabal, at this easily accessed public resource. I took a quick gander and it appears rational enough for comprehension.

God sent the canoe, the boat, the helicopter … and the internet.

How does God reveal Himself to us?

But the word 'God' here is in reference to what is also called 'Conscience', sometimes.

And, God speaks to everyone, from within, and sharing the Truth, equally. Some adults, however, just choose to listen to, and follow, God, while others choose to listen to, and follow, "them" 'self' and/or "others" more, and instead.
Does God talk to you? What does He say?
When you say, 'Does God ...?'

What do you mean, or what are you referring to, with and by the 'God' word, exactly?

Now, within every human being there is a 'Knowing' of what is Right and what is Wrong, in Life.

Within some this inner-'Knowing' lays 'dormant', or in other words is just 'unconsciously known' or not yet, consciously, 'Known'.

When, and if, one also comes-to-know who God is, exactly, then they also will Know how God works, and thus how God also 'talks'.

So, that is God talking to you, and, that is what God is saying to you, and to everyone else of you as well.

Oh, and by the way, God is not a 'he'. Unless, of course, you have been told, and have heard, otherwise.

No, it is not God. It is my genetic makeup.

Where did your genetic make up come from, exactly, Knowing such things?

And, come with the ability to :speak', and to 'tell' you and everyone else the exact same 'thing'?

Also, why do you call 'it' 'your' genetic make up, especially considering 'it' was and is within every human being, before and after 'you' were around?

It does not tell the exact same thing to everyone. Think of a psychopath!

Through evolution.
So, through evolution, itself, it tells you 'information', which is hidden within, or captured and stored within, the 'genetic make up of that body', about what is Right and Wrong, in Life, correct?

Like, for example, that God is a 'he', but which 'he' does not really exist, right?

But why just think of those human beings, which some of you human beings have bestowed that name and label upon.

And, is it not a possibility in that very tiny little 'world' of yours "bahman" that what is, exactly, being told you is not being fully listened to, not being fully heard, and/or not being fully comprehended and understood?

Why do you seem to believe so strongly that 'It' is not telling all of you human beings the exact same thing?

Yes, to a very large extent.

There could be also God, Satan, and other spiritual things! But I have no proof for them.

Once again, and either on purpose or completely oblivious to, this one has completely and utterly not recognized and thus not answered the actual question I asked it, for clarity.
