I mean, why isn't it as observably real as -- for instance -- the impossibility of squeezing a size-ten foot into a size-six shoe?
If god is real, then he (she, it, whatever) should be IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS no matter how dumb I am.
Yes? No? Why or why not?

The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike.

Thats a good Question.
Why dosent' GOD show HIMSELF.
Adam kicked GOD out of the Earth.
If Adam had not of accomplished this, we all could still be walking with GOD.
We woulda' never became lost, with a messed up spirit.
That spirit cannot handle GOD's Presence in the messed up state.
We would disentagrate.
You have to have a "Believers spirit" (reborn) to understand spiritual things--it is a Law.
Cannot be broken. A person with a messed up spirit (like I used to have) cannot understand spiritual things, GOD is Spiritual.
IF GOD Almighty came down here, right now, healing people, doing miracles, walking on water, only the born-again people would know and understand that HE was GOD.
Thats just how it works, sorry, I didn't make the Spiritual Laws, GOD did.
Hope this helps, really do.

God is obviously real and to prove that, u can ask urself if everyobject in your room has a manufacturer then why not the more complex skies and universe as a whole? and the fact that ur brain controls ur body activities like digestion n co, how come you dont know how it works or what it is like since it is the same brain the coordinates these functions.and if there wasnt any God to control ur involuntary activites like the transcriptions of ur genes of each and every cell, do you think that you can even do that by your own consciousness? you wouldnt have ever lived, because the burden would be way too great for ur own control.
DEATH.ever wonder why we should age and die and not live eternally on the earth?
GOD is OBVIOUSLY real!

In the Bible, New Testament, when Jesus comes back to His disciples 3 days after His crucifiction, He says, "You believe because you have seen Me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing." If He was right in our faces, we wouldn't have to put any effort into believeing in Him. He wants us to want a relationship with Him. That means we have to strive for it. We have to be aware of the little things He does. How is a baby formed? I mean, I know theres some "logical" explanation for it. But really, its so much easier to say, "God did it, " anyway. He is so full of love. He wants us all to love Him back. He wants us to put forth the effort. And He gives us a choice. There are some people who say they are Christians, but don't act the part. I know that I mess up, but I do try. Don't let those people drive you away from the love and fulfilling that only comes from Jesus. God bless you very much!! :)

sounds like someone can't see the forest for the trees...what do you expect-a ten-foot tall pillar of flame in the driveway? ice cream flowing from the kitchen tap? a parade down main street with God as the grand marshall? if you don't perceive the reality of God, then i'd suggest that it's a perception problem, not a God problem...

It takes faith which is something that a completely logical thinker doesn't understand. A completely logical thinker cannot believe what is beyond what he can comprehend of this world, this time and by his own hand. It takes faith which takes a great deal of humility and the obvious understanding of humility is to admit that you don't know everything. That is the first step.... in which case most Atheists can't get to that step .... 2nd step would be to find what makes sense to you in the spirit world which is the bible has lasted generation after generation for a purpose, then the 3rd step would be believing in Jesus Christ (as it says in the bible nothing added or taken away) once that is done 4th Step is the Holy spirit ministers the bible to you in a way that is OBVIOUS

Been asking myself the same question for years in another manner, I think to myself if God was really angry way back when because of such atrocities as worshipping other gods, selling and trading on Sunday and slave ownership and he made examples of these things, I imagine he is pretty peeved off right about now but NOTHING? It seems obvious to me he should just blow us all to high hell now ..........how much patience could he have at this point................seems he hasnt been around lately.

Maybe you are not as dumb as you think. God often reveals himself to very, very dumb and not to the smart ones.
If God is not obvious, then what is? Have you ever looked at the sun? Try sometime.
