What I mean by that is that alot of people who don't believe in God claim that He doesn't exist and/or that He doesn't love them just because He doesn't grant them every single little selfish thing they ask Him for.

One thing that it was tough for me to swallow as a Christian was that He does answer my prayers. Every single one of them. Sometimes I have to pray about something multiple times, and a lot of the time I have to adjust to the answer He gives me, but there is an answer. I was unable to see that for a long time... well, until I truly believed, in fact. It's funny that this is also one of the things that solidified my faith.
But many non-believers expect it to be sort of like Bill Cosby's Noah skit; that you'll be sitting around one day and you'll hear this big booming voice go, "Noah!", or that when you have a question, you can yell up there, "Hey God! What's a cubit?" and get an immediate and clear answer that's obvious. It just doesn't work that way.

In whatever god does is for the good of mankind, we do not understand his ways, if god does not grant a wish maybe the wish was not correct or not good for you. People expect god to grant all the wish like a genie which is not possible

We are all selfish beings. We want God to grant us things to make our lives easier. As humans it is all about "me" and we forget to look at Jesus who already took care of everything that is necessary! No, God, didn't take away the evil in the world because that would be taking away our free will. But, God did give us Jesus so that when we make bad choices (using our free will), we will still be saved.

From my point of view, I guess because of the unbelievable gifts he gave the fish and bread that lasted for thousands of people that is like a genie's work, then how about water to wine, re-rises from a cave, do I need to say more. In my opinion it would be easy to think he was magic.

For such people God is a vending machine where you punch the right button and get your stuff. People are basically selfish and they use every possible means to satisfy their wishes.

because they want a quick answer to their solutions without giving anything back to him in return. They know that God can do anything, but they are lead by selfishness and not by love.

To most religious fanatics, their Saviour has just got to function like a genie !

Because he usually comes out of a bottle.
It is my experience that many deists are alcoholics or ex alcoholics and the delusion of god came from their intoxication

Well i think when people pray and nothing happens they do not like it and want help and results with their personal problems when it does not come they give up on believing.
