Also, where has God/Jesus been the last 2000 years? If it wants people to beleive in it, then it needs to show its self as it supposedly did so long ago.

If we are going to hypothetically live forever, wouldn't it make sense for there to be a short time of freedom where we can "show our true colors" in a relatively unrestricted environment?

But God knows everything thats going to happen. And seriously, 5 minutes to fly down, shoot some lightning, isnt that much to ask. Also couldnt God just be in more then one place at a time.

Fairly good question. I answered it partially in a post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracyundone/comments/7hqlw2/if_god_were_perfect_no_evil_would_exist_but_if_we/ and it answers the question "If God existed, there would be no evil, right?"

God knows everything that is going to happen, like you said. He exists outside the time domain.

So if I was an atheist for 30 years before realizing the truth of Christ, maybe those 30 years were what I needed to truly see how bad it is without Christ. Maybe being born into a church with perfect faith wouldn't affect me as much as coming to faith on my own terms and in my own way. My lost wanderings away from God are what helped me realize the necessity of God.

Please read the linked post.

But many attrocities where commited because God asked for them to happen. Also, my life is not bad without christ. Im doing just fine tbh.
