Why the mind games?

Free will is apparently a really big deal. And... as far as I can tell... we have to be "free" to believe God exists by trusting nothing more than the words of the Bible and our FEELINGS. I've heard it's all important that we be given the chance to eternally screw ourselves by thinking far too rationally.
Make sense now?
Yeah... not for me, either.

Hey Dude. Hows it goin? About your question, very good. Are you aware? Are you aware of thoughts, anger, trees, birds? That awareness is what some call God although most don't know it. They think God is "something" when God is no thing. This same awareness is what you really are. This is why Buddha said he "attained" nothing from enlightenment, & Jesus said " I and the Father are one. Most can not "stay" with this awareness very long. You can check this out for yourself. That is why meditation is very important, though most don't know that either. So there it is, God "watching" everything. Truth is simple isn't it. This the ego does not like, because it needs a future, a future heaven, it does not like the truth.

Look around you. Look outside toward the sky. Feel your very self....and prove that God is not infinitely obvious. He's there, you just have to have the faith to belief that he made all the trees, water, the precious little ones...who's playing mind games?

God does make Himself infinitely obvious to those that know and love Him. Seek Him and have your peace.

God claims his being is infinitely obvious. Perhaps some fail to acknowledge this because it isn't on terms of their choosing, desiring instead to control the conditions of engagement. This, of course, is impossible. Consequently, so is knowing God.

Then we would not have any choice but to beleive, but either way we still wont have a leg to stand on when we must give account of our life...
"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."

We are finite creatures. Not His fault if our own evolution is still not that sophisticated enough to sense the infinite realm. The only way we can seize His infinite being would be thru our own physical death, at least, experiencing what it's like being infinite.

God is obvious. Look around you at the world; the beauty, how nature works; the miracle of birth. Do you think any of this is by chance? Yes, we have free will. God want us to come to Him freely.

There's no mind games.
He is infinitely obvious; take yourself, for example, although a poor one.
