Because all the times he wasn't he was testing you.
If he didn't test you life wouldn't be rewarding.
Because there is no logical argument for a personal god
Because there's obviously no way that an almighty entity, who loves people unconditionally, could not love you or be almighty after all.

Don't be silly. God is always there for you. If he wasn't you'd cease to exist. It's just a matter of whether one turns to him or not.

Because God respects free will. He respects the free will of nazis to slaughter jews/slavs
Or the free will of a hurrican to kill thousands

why would you ever commit to an idea of being lesser than someone else?
i thought nature was all about proving youre the alpha male

Why should I believe in the Christian God specifically, when his existence cannot be verified? It seems irrational tbqh senpai

Can your existence be verified?

Yes. Yes it can.
Wow, that was easy.

I don't believe you though. I am not convinced that you indeed do exist, at least outside my own mind.
