It's not as long as the page first appears (should take about 5 minutes to read) and I think is a really good dismantling of the 'free will' argument for God not making his existance explicit.
Apolo ...[text shortened]... to it but I'd like to hear theists views on this. Maybe then we can discuss.

I am never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by My internal potency, and therefore they do not know that I am unborn and infallible.
Bhagavad Gita Cpt 7 verse 25.
Well that speaks for just about everyone on the planet.
When your having a coversation with someone, and you finally get the point, you say: (oh, I see) the eyes are not involved actually!
You dont see God with these material eyes, but for the qualiified seeker, God is discerned, and discernement is a Spiritual type of seeing.
How does infinite Being appear before you so your material eyes can see? well (it cant happen) the Spiritual connection takes place in the loving heart.
The relationship a person has with God is within, its not an external display.
God is spiritual energy, and this world is material energy, so your eye is a material thing and desighned to see other material things in the 3 dimensional plane........so this material eye that we have will never be able to see God.
Also if you want to see God within, one must acquire transcendental knowledge, because transcendental knowledge burns to ashes the illusion, that covers us, and while we are in illusion, our intelligence will not work properly.
