Skil, I've read the Bible. God used to communicate with humans all the time. He'd sometimes do it directly, or he'd send angels as messengers.
Why did he stop this? Why has he been silent for over 2,000 years? Why would such a being play such a silly game with his allegedly favorite creations? If he spoke to me and showed me a miracle or something, then I would worship without hesitation.
But the only evidence I have for his existence, is the word of a bunch of bronze age epileptics, cobbled together into a mess of scripture, filled with contradictions and bizarre nonsense. Do you know how many times the Bible goes into strange diatribes about feces? Too many. This is not the word of some higher being. It's the word of some kike weirdos from the desert.
TL;DR- If the Christian god is real, why has he severed all connection with us? Why is He silent? Is he dead? Did He abandon us for some reason? He used his son and angels and his own powers to convert people in the past. Why does he rely on easily-corrupted men to convert now?

I could bore you with a discussion about the nature of free will and how it relates to creation or “creationism,” but instead I’d like to throw things back a bit further. Let’s look at something you don’t generally associate with “belief.” Let’s look at physical existence from a secularist standpoint.
Where did the Universe come from?
Look at the laws of thermodynamics. Look at the four fundamental forces. Look at the structure of the Universe and the nature of its history. The Universe exists. It’s made of stuff. Stuff can’t come from un-stuff. Things can’t happen without a cause. Copypasta time.
