This supposed God wants us to believe?
Hi, I've asked this in other threads but haven't gotten an answer. I was thinking hypothetically if the a God existed, would it be possible for it to actually prove itself to us so we can believe, with our limited human minds and technology? (from its perspective) I can't think of a way for it to give us undeniable evidence since we are talking about a being that has the intelligence well beyond our own and has the ability to create the universe (what I've seen Christians usually describe it as).
How do we know this is not just a very powerful being who is trying to do something evil and is tricking us into thinking its a good God? A very powerful being would be very much capable of doing that. So asking us to believe in it and worship it when its not proving this to us doesn't make any sense and is irrational for it to demand that we believe and worship it when we don't have a way of knowing this.
What it comes down to is we are talking about a being that goes beyond the human minds understanding. So we can't know its full nature, thus we can't know its real place in the universe and its relation with it, thus we can't know if what its doing is right or if what someone describes about it is correct and so its not possible for us to truthfully believe or worship it.
Further, punishing us because we don't believe would be like punishing a disabled person wheel chair because they can't run a marathon, or punishing a dog because it doesn't know rocket science.
