Christians, why some people don't see or experience anything that would lead them to believe that God exists?

Jesus answered that question when He said that the reason people reject God is “because they are evil (their deeds are evil), and they love darkness (i.e. they love their sins and immorality), and they hate the light (i.e. they hate Truth)!” Of course they won't experience the presence of God when they push Him away with their sins and immorality, I mean, like DUH!

Because that way they think they are in control. If they acknowledge God, that would mean someone else is in control and that scares the daylights out of most people. Once the stiffnecked unbeliever realizes they are not in control they begin to realize that someone else is. Gradually, God brings them around to the knowledge of himself. Then it's up to them to decide whether to believe or not - - the major decision, with eternal impact. For some people, for various reasons, this happens very early in life and for some, not so much. Either way, we all have that decision to make.

EVERYONE knows the Truth, but Most refuse to acknowledge it as Truth , cause then THEY Would have to do different and deny self lusts....something most REFUSE to do
Read Romans 1 , it explain it very well...for ALL of Creation has been shown
Romans 1: 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

As you can see from some of their answers, many of them claim we non-believers DO see and experience such things.
I keep pointing out to them that we don't, but they keep insisting that they know what I see and experience better than I do.
Pretty silly, isn't it?
Peace.

2 Corinthians 4:4-6:
"The god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through. 5 For we are preaching, not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as YOUR slaves for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God is he who said: “Let the light shine out of darkness,” and he has shone on our hearts to illuminate [them] with the glorious knowledge of God by the face of Christ."
The god of this system is Satan.

Because they love sin more, they love this world more than the riches of Christ. The love their money more than God. The love themselves more than to turn their lives over to Christ and trust him with theirs. Basically it has to do with unbelief.
