Why do theists continue to believe in God when God and magical bunnies in the forest are the exact same things?

There is no rational reason to believe that an Omnipotent, Omnibenevolent, Omnipresent God exists out his own sheer will because without giving testable evidence of his existence. All of the faith non-sense that Christians spout can have hundreds if not thousands of explanations of why things turn out good or bad for you How do you know apart from your warm squishy feelings that it was God revealing himself to you and further more how do you explain that there is no agreed upon doctrine by all Christians to adhere which is why so many many different denominations and sects exist. There is absolutely no reason that magical bunnies would exist out of their own sheer will and unless I can see and hold on in my hands then I will refuse to believe in them for the exact same reasons I refuse to believe in God and magic.

    The only way primitive religion exists today is through the child abuse of forcing it into very, very young children but thanks to better education and growing intellects so many teens are able to discover the truth, throw off the indoctrination and step into the real world!

    As prisoners of their indoctrination there is no free will and no escape!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    If God really wanted you to believe, you would. Maybe you will, someday. But likely, not with that attitude.

    Fib much?  Of course you do.  Don't bother denying it.  God is not any sort of a rabbit, magical or otherwise.  Is your integrity really so cheaply bought?

    Every year millions experience God for themselves.  You should, too.  It's the logical thing to do.  Don't bother moving the goalposts.  It's more evidence than you have to shore up your fantasy that there is no God.

    Humans are put on this planet to be TESTED.

    And FAITH in Jesus is a HUGE part of that testing process.

    God will NEVER EVER reveal Himself, or give proof, or evidence of Himself to any person who does not already have FAITH in Him. PERIOD!

    If God revealed Himself to a person who did not believe they would INSTANTLY have 100% FAITH in Him. And that means God CHEATS the very TEST He Himself set up.

    God will NEVER CHEAT, therefore God will NEVER reveal Himself to an unbeliever. EVER!

    Those who seek Proof or Evidence of His Existence, will die still seeking it.

    Now God will reveal Himself to those who already have FAITH in Him:

    Joh_14:21  He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

    Will He ever reveal Himself to those who don't believe in Him? NOT EVER.

    Will He ever reveal Himself to those who don't keep His Commandments? NOT EVER.

    Will He ever reveal Himself to those who don't Love Him? NOT EVER.

    God will NOT, nor EVER will, reveal Himself to an Atheist. PERIOD!

    Those who seek Proof, or evidence of His existence, will die still seeking it.

    I know God. I don't know your magical bunnies. You are free to believe in whatever you want.

    No one gives a flying fart what you don't want to believe. So sit on the toilet and complain. We've heard this bullshytte before a thousand times.

    You commit the straw man fallacy when you compare belief in God to "magical bunnies".  Perhaps you should study a bit more.  Google "Thomas Aquinas" and read about his 5 proofs for the existence of God.  There are many philosophical arguments for the existence of God.

    Then this will be your evidence. You will forever curse the day you were born. Hardheads always have to learn the hard way.
