This has nothing to do with Mary being the town bicycle
How brutally honest shall I be with you? You want the truth? Can you handle the truth?
The truth is the issue is NOT that there is a lack of evidence for God. The Israelite's saw God first hand after they were rescued from Egypt and yet they still made the Golden Calf.
The issue is sin and how we hate God. You hate God. You want nothing to do with God, you want to be cut off from the very vine that gives you life. You are not righteous and you need saving. You cannot save yourself. Your sin makes you a terrible, terrible person. The wages of sin is death, which is what you deserve, as do I.
You owe a huge debt that you cannot repay. You are lost and in need of saving as you cannot save yourself. You do absolutely nothing to contribute to your salvation.
Unfortunately, you will not seek a saviour, you will deny that you need saving. In fact your default response is to deny that all of this is real at all and you will call me delusional.
I said it before and I'll say it again, the hardest thing to convince people is the very first thing they need to realize: the doctrine of sin. There is a reason that is the very first thing Frodo says in the first post. How much of that truth are you willing to take?
