Think about this, however! If God does own all of the evidence, He has apparently put evidence that is not conclusive at all. Perhaps He wishes that humanity approach the topic as if no conclusion is evident.
Then he has only himself to blame for our lack of belief.
This essentially posits god as the deceiver. If he is a deceiver, why should I take all the statements about his love at face value?
And of course, this frees me from any obligation or expectation to be a christian, read the bible, or attend church. God has to take responsibility for failing to declare himself.
