In your post, Hawkins, you say:
On the other hand, if a God wants your belief/faith, at least He should do the following 2 things.
First He needs to leave humans with an infallible reference for humans to follow, or else humans don't even know who God is, not to speak how to follow Him.
Second He needs to assign an earthly authority as a keeper of this infallible reference, and to carry it forward alongside human history. Or else, anyone at any point may pop up to claim that his version of reference is the genuine one. On the other hand, because this is an earthly authority it may go corrupted at some point of history. So this authority must be re-assignable.
There is no logical connection between your premise and your two conclusions.
Let me propose two different conclusions to the same premise:
"On the other hand, if a God wants your belief/faith, at least He should do the following 2 things.
First, he should put in an appearance on Earth every 10 years or so, and undertake a magical, un-scientific miracle, to really get the people on their knees.
Second, he should consider designing the men and women that he created in such a way that they have no mental option other than to believe in and worship him. They should be hard wired that way."
Same premise, different conclusions. Neither set of conclusions any more valid than the other. You are choosing the conclusions which fit your own preconceptions, and pretending that they are the only logical ones. This is not the case.
