please don't be immediately offended and keep on reading cause this is something you've probably never read about.
many of us reject god cause he seems inconsistent: i mean, the fact that he is so intelligent and powerful to be able to create effortlessly the whole universe from the small subatomic particles to the big galaxies and keep it all in balance an harmony and at the same time is so insecure that he gets mad if you don't worship him enough or if you don't dress properly, or eat properly or if you masturbate alone in your room, seems very unlikely to many of those who rejected the gods that you can read about in major religions.
But.
and this but is both intended for agnostics/atheistss and for those who believes in the god of the scriptures.
What if he is an idiot?
the intention is not to put him under a bad light. What i'm referring to is what we know as the "Idiot savant syndrome". There are people out there with something different in their brains. They can solve complex equations in their head, can memorize and write down a full symphony after hearing it just once, or have photographic memory, or can learn by heart a whole phonebook. All things that are absolutely impossible to normal human being.
On the other hand they can't tie their shoes, can't understand things that for us are completely normal. They can't completely grasp irony, or many kind of emotions, or do simple things like having a proper conversation.
what if the mind of god was more similar to these "idiot savant" than to the mind of the common man?
that from the point of view of the unbeliever would represent a problem, cause now the erratic and the unreasonable behaviour would make sense. You can still decide not to worship such a god but he would still have the power to send you to hell or heaven.
And from the point of view of the believer would represent a problem aswell, cause now god is no more allknowing, full of wisdom and love, and truth and everything but just a sort of autistic genyous on steroid that at the same time can create universe but can't tie his shoes and is scared of his own shadow.
but that would fit the god as described in the bible for example, more than the loving forgiving and allknowing father that on the other hand gets pissed off to the point of nuking a whole city when they're endulging in human pleasures a little too much.
is this hypotesis completely stupid or can you see some potential here?
