Do you think God is disappointed with people who ask for evidence of his existence rather than just believing?
Why or why not?

No. First, I'm an atheist, so I don't believe in gods, But if your God did everything in his power to make himself known to his people, they would believe. Pure and simple. Why would an all powerful god play games?

I recognize that God's love is beyond human understanding because he gives his all for people who hate him but know this God is not like Santa Claus. God has made a way for mankind to escape his wrath which is coming by accepting Jesus and asking for forgiveness.
God considers those who worship idols as people who hate him I can't help but believe he feels the same way about those who deny him.
Deuteronomy 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

Anger and disappointment are two different concepts. I don't believe God is angry with people who want proof, he is disappointed when people don't accept the proof that they are given and when they accept something as proof that isn't really proof!
God wants us to acknowledge him with our hearts, our souls AND our minds. God doesn't hate our minds nor does he want us to ignore what our minds tell us is true...instead, he wants us to expand our minds so that we can accept that just because we perceive there is no physical proof of something doesn't mean that it can't exist nor does it mean that the physical proof doesn't exist...just that we can't recognize it using the resources of our mind alone. Yes, God wants us to believe he exists...but he also wants us to know he exists! Perhaps faith is merely the God-given sense that allows us to perceive the truth of his existence with our hearts, souls AND minds!

God loves us completely, and he mourns when we sin, but when people reject his Son, he goes emo. People who ask for proof go directly against what God said through his prophets (People who were filled with the Holy Spirit when they wrote the Bible), and if they read all of the Bible they would know this. But they're just too ignorant to see this. I'm not here to yell at anyone though.
...Unless I'm yelling at Chick Publications. They're they worst.
Jack Chick, you're a horrible person. I'll pray for you to see the error of your ways.

I can't speak for God, but the Bible explains that he proof is the evidence around them. This is much to simple for most atheists to accept. They want all their dreams to come true or win the lottery or something.

No God is a loving God. He loves them even though they don't believe in him.

Actually the real question is how does he expect us to know hes the right person to worship? It could be anybody else and if we choose wrong we go to hell, thats unfair really because some of us arent good guessers.

It sure seems so. In fact, God seems to hate logic or reason in and of itself. He says that this is Satan trying to confuse us. Satan's logic seems to have helped when creating automobiles, phones, computers, etc... All things fundies enjoy using hypocritically every single day. If God were still in charge you and I would be having this conversation with smoke signals.

NO i don't think he is mad, just very disapointed. Remember he said to Thomas, you believe becuase you have seen, blessed are they who believe but have not seen

Didn't god make us all according to christians? So didn't he make some of us to require proof? Sounds like he pooched that one.
