The lack of credible evidence.

God gave us the choice of free will. Although He wants to see every human come to know Him, not everyone will. As Christians we have a duty to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth - to make sure that every person has an opportunity to hear the gospel, but that does not mean that every person will receive the gospel and accept salvation.
For God to interfere with that, would be interfering with free will, which He will not do. It's a hard thing to understand, and I don't know that it can ever be understood. But all you can do is keep praying for those people that God will begin a work in their heart!
In Christ,

I turned away because he wasn't there. I felt no power, mass was just some routine that had no effect at all. I didn't feel him in my private life either, it's just me.
I didn't try other churches because honestly, if a god only talks to you when you attend a certain building, is that god really worth worshipping? So I just accepted my lack of feeling his presence as an indication that he probably doesn't exist. So now I don't even think about it.

Those who lean unto there own understanding of scripture are leading others astray and blinded by their "pride!" But this has to occur for the Kingdom of God is coming to this earth and establish His way as the only way.
Pride is man's downfall. The End of the circle of man's self rule will be the beginning of Christ's Kingdom but that "pride" must be broken first!

Because of having turned away from God originally in the spiritual world and that is still continuring in the material world.
God is not so miser that he sent only one of his sons. There are no scarcity for God. Jesus Christ is one of the best sons of God. We are also sons of God, but not as good as Jesus because of having turned away from him in the orignal place.

For that matter, why do people turn away from the awesome power of Quetzalcóatl?

He sent himself to die for what??? And how does that change anything? He doesn't exist. It is a fairy tale. There is NO GOD. He has no power. That's why.

Because you have presented no evidence for a god besides a 2000 year old book filled with falsehoods, inconsistancies, and bigotry.
