Is God good? Is God loving?

[viole]

All I asked was whether you aware of the many scriptures that counter your claim that God ought to make evidence more plain to skeptics.

Why? Is He only capable to make evidence for believers?

Your whole "A good God would show evidence to me" is different than the biblical God whose main sorting device is whether people trust or want to trust God or trust themselves as superior to God.

I never said a good God would show evidence to me. Actually, if such an implausible God existed, He is hiding to test us. But not the way you think. God is very smart. And He created us in His image. Smart people do not believe in things without evidence. So, He is trying to figure out who is smart and who is not, who really is in His image and who is not, and will therefore send to hell people accepting Him without evidence, and to Heaven atheists and so. For only the latter can be in His image.

Don't you agree?

Not "only capable", discerning.

Isn't your very attitude aligned with the biblical attitude of a scoffer?

When people scoff at you, do you give of them your very best or assume--correctly--that you are wasting your time in presenting evidence?

Note that I'm not scoffing at you, merely noting your arguments from silence.
