Deep dives
The Argument of Divine Hiddenness
The discussion centers on the philosophical challenge posed by divine hiddenness, which suggests that God's apparent silence might indicate a lack of love or desire for relationship. If God truly cared, the argument states, He would reveal Himself to those sincerely searching for Him. This leads to the conclusion that the existence of sincere non-believers who cannot find God could imply that He does not exist or does not wish to be known. However, the counterpoint highlights that human sincerity may be complex, involving subconscious motives where individuals might seek God while also holding preconceived biases against Him.
