Non-believers often complain that if God exists, He ought to make His existence more obvious. While I don’t deny this complaint can come from a sincere place, it seems to me that the people who make it are typically guilty of a twofold error.
First, they don’t actually want God to exist, and so they’ve never searched for Him with any real enthusiasm or urgency. And second, they’ve rarely taken the time to think through the intellectual and moral costs that are incurred when we conclude that God does not exist.
