What you have is a personal opinion, that if God was loving and wanted the best for everyone, God would provide input on an individual basis to garner belief in Him, but you do not know that, you only believe it.Then he doesn't want the best for everyone. Then at best he just wishes the best for everyone. Just like I can wish the best for X while X is diagnosed with cancer the next day.
Firstly, you cannot know what God wants, and neither can I. We can only know what God does and doesn't do, if God exists. We know that if God exists God does not provide input on an individual basis to garner belief in Him. That means that if God existed God would not provide input on an individual basis to garner belief in Him.
You believe a loving God would do that if He existed and wanted the best for everyone, but I do not believe that is what a loving God would do. I believe a loving God would allow everyone to discover God for themselves. It is a level playing field so everyone has the same opportunity to do so, and that is fair and just.
Only a numbered few people witnessed miracles first-hand and only Messengers of God receive revelations from God.If the myths are true, then that is clearly not true as other people got the privilege of witnessing miracles and revelations and what-not first hand.
So clearly it is not that he can't or won't reach out. It's that she's choosing not to (if she exists).
It is not possible or necessary for everyone to have those experiences. Miracles are not the evidence for God that we are supposed to look at. If they were, God would have made miracles available to everyone.
No, we have claims and we have evidence that supports those claims.All we have are claims.
That might be true if you are praying for something in particular, but that isn't the same as praying for assistance in general. Nobody can measure the effects of that since there is nothing to measure. Unless it is a life and death matter, I never pray for anything in particular, I just pray for assistance with my difficulties. Even if it is a life and death matter, I realize that whatever the outcome is, God knows more than I do about what is best for everyone concerned.Praying has the same statistical signals as sheer randomness.
In fact, in some cases it even performs worse then that due to the false hope it provides.
