That bad things happen to good people does not prove or disprove the existence of an apathetic God. Yet it does prove that a god with certain attribute cant exist. For example: If God is all knowing (knows that a hurricane is coming or that a being called Satan will hurt good and bad people), all good (does not want bad things to happen to good people), and all powerful (can prevent bad things from happening to good people), then such a god cant exist.
I can't control the weather. I am not all powerful.
Wrong again my friend. You give him these attributes and then define them by your own pretenses. There is a difference between can and can't will and wont. You are claiming that there can not be an all knowing and all powerful God because he doesn't cater to your wants for instant supernatural intervention in the face of trouble. So we are now brought to the conculsion that because you CAN you MUST. There are numerous examples im positive you can think of them yourself. We can automatically exclude the "because you can you must" theory simply by looking at the actions of any human "with the exception of Christ". With that theory excluded there can be an all powerful, all knowing God. Who CHOOSES not to intervene.
Id say, The duckbilled platypus what gives? Were you sober at the time - now that was imaginative.

You interpret it as weak but an all powerful God is holding back his wrath that to me shows discipline and concern because he is allowing us time to correct ourselves.
Why would he have too?
It's your definition.
One day you walked into your home and found a person standing there; a person which you instinctively trusted... and that person revealed to you that they were God incarnate; God in human form; that they had heard your queries and had decided for reasons known only to them, to stand before you and convince you...
At last any and all evidence which you requested as 'conclusive, empirical proof was laid out before you...
You could touch it, see it in your minds eye; see it in unprecedented detail in as many ways as you could think of; you are presented the answers to questions regarding everything from 'what is time, why are we here, is there a hell and am I on the register; everything from who killed JFK to where Elvis is and that most important of all human puzzlers...'where do socks go when you put them in the washer and they don't come out;' you're given all of the time and answers to all of your questions until you simply can no longer advance a query of doubt... all of the evidence which you require is presented; matter is created from the ether, youre transported through time, in thousands of dimensions, seeing history play out in thousands of ways...; whatever flitters through your mind is answered instantly ; all of the demonstrations, the insight, the mind blowing facts, the full blown demonstrations of the origin of the universe, presented in a vision, which you learn was actually you witnessing as it happened, having literally been taken back to that point to witness it yourself as well as in mathematical terms which you were suddenly, instinctively able to grasp... proof, in finality and conclusively that God was precisely as he had been described all of your life; but which you had rejected for whatever reason... with the only condition (to which you agreed) being that you could not call a witness...
What would you do?
There is a book out that says, 'If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him."
Sheldon Kopp---good book too.
He swiped the title tho.
some neat stuff
Sheldon Kopp's Escatological Laundry List
As far as God not appearing to anyone? Well.....considering that He's done it before in the Bible (remember, He wrestled with Jacob)...Not only that, but He's sent angels to talk to people regularly, ...
