Revelation seems to be a popular way of finding God.
But many atheists have the reverse experience, they just wake up one day and noticed that the kings isn't wearing any clothes.
In my case I was born into a Christian family and 100% Christian community. So i was baptised, went to Christian schools, went to mass every Sunday, took all the sacraments, did all the rituals and was even a quoir boy. I believed the whole thing. - all of it without reservation. I knew about all the sins and the saints, I believed Christ died for our sins and that the only way to get to heaven was through him. I studied the bible, knew bits of it of by heart and believed every word of it.
So my question is, why would God deconvert me? Why be un-revealed?
I didn't do anything to deliberately make this happen I just noticed after awhile at the age of 14 or 15 that it was a pile of old bollocks. All of it, simply nonsense that didn't stack up.
(For the paranoid anti-evolutionists, this was before I knew anything about evolution).
It seems to me that if this God does exist and he is indeed the God of the Christian faith, then he's done himself out of a soul. Now why would he do that?
