Religion is Law
Does God exist? Apparently this question will never be answered to everybody's satisfaction. This is a subjective question, not objective. When Moses ascended Mount Sinai, it was not mere curiosity that drove him but serious issues. In the same manner, all who seek serious answers will make their own approach to Sinai as Moses did.
Jesus once said:
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." (Matthew 7:7; KJV).
In another place, James wrote:
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." (James 1:5).
Again, Paul said:
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Hebrews 11:6).
Apparently the gates of Heaven are not closed to us mortals and we can approach God without fear. Said Paul, "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16).
What is deficient in people is not possessing enough faith to call down answers to their questions. Paul said that "all men have not faith." (2 Thessalonians 3:2). He said also that "we walk by faith, not by sight." (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Apparently this life is about seeing who will be faithful and who will be unbelieving, so not everyone will be satisfied with the question of the existence of God.
