its easy to look around and say if a singular all powerful were real he would stop the suffering of man and animal, a position i support.
however there is another even more basic premise i have pondered at times as well (im sure im not the first of course) : would any loving parent ever hide from their children?
consider it... our all knowing all loving father hides from us even though we cry out to know him.
Yep, and I personally from a personal point of view had a dad that was out of my life until I was maybe 6? when I met him he was a stranger to me, and I never had that fatherly love you are suppose to have, it just never happened. I have told one person in my family this when they said "have you ever really learned how to love jehovah?"
No and this is why, I can't love someone who doesn't exist, not like Zeus anyway

The apologists would say he's no hiding, (playing assholes advocate here)
That being said i 100% agree with you. What father would "allow" his children to suffer to no end to prove a point. Take job for example, "hey I don't think your child loves you, let me f%$# him up real bad to prove it".
But hiding, and making the bible so easily misunderstood (although I believe the witnesses are the ones who misunderstand it). Why would he make it something so easy for the devil to corrupt where 90% of the population is supposedly deceived? Why would he write a book that 9 out of 10 people will take the wrong way? Allowing deception and confusion to me would also be tantamount with the hiding you speak of. Good op

Guys some people need to be told what to do. Even if it's from invisible sky fairies. Invisible sky fairy gives his orders to man run ego factory who loves telling people what to do, and the sheep line up to be bossed around. It's a symbiotic relationship we can observe like some kind of cult zoological expirament. So don't be too hard on perry the pirate. He needs this shit or he might not know what to do and become a homicidal maniac if yhwh wasn't holding him back. godspeed pman
