I have tried to stay away from arguments about particular religions, but as to why God would reveal Himself to some people spectacularly and refuse to speak to some who loved Him dearly (Mother Teresa)...our finite minds cannot grasp infinite intelligence.  But the amount of evidence out there is astounding.  Some events are witnessed by large numbers of people (the miracle of the sun), and many others are experienced personally.  Some can be subjected to scientific study (medical miracles, the tilma from Guadalupe), others are hidden within the moments of death.  But all bits of evidence serve the purpose of allowing us to decide whether or not to believe the evidence.[/quote]

This has been fun and all, but judging from the pattern of using of Christian mythology as "evidence" of a god, to calling what I'm assuming is "the sunrise" a miracle, etc, etc...   I think it's pretty clear you're not arguing in good faith.  At this point, I think you're just looking for validation by engaging in all this flurry of obscurantism and sophistry.

I hope that your original question has been answered to your satisfaction, though:  we don't believe in any gods because there's not a shred of evidence that one exists, at least in any of the commonly understood sense of a being with agency, intelligence, etc...  Enumerations of arguments that were rebutted a half a millennia ago don't contribute much.  It's the fallacy of <i>ad auctoritatem</i>.  Augustine is great to read as literature--he was a really clever fellow for pre-Enlightenment.  CS Lewis less so. [/quote]
