[Secondly, from your writing it seems that God was willing to reveal himself to you when you asked. Why is it that he doesn’t seem willing to reveal himself to others? I’ve asked, and received nothing. I know others have as well.]

All I can say is that any man not as stupid and stubborn as I does not need to see God in this life. Is my word not good enough? Either I am mad, or God exists. You believe the planet Pluto exists, I hope, even if you’ve never seen it. Why? Because you trust the men who say they’ve seen it. Why not trust me, now, here, in this? Or trust Saint Paul, who is more convincing, or trust the countless others — the Christian Scientists keep a century of records of miracles, and so does the medical committee at Lourdes — who have seen things just as I have.

Is the miracle of the sunrise not enough? Go look at the veins on a leaf, you will see more about the mind of God in action than I saw.
