so here is the bible:
a record of God having proven Himself to many people over thousands of years, in which it's recorded that this God doesn't like to repeat Himself and requires of men to put faith in Him completely before His ways can be understood, even if He never makes His ways comprehensible. in this book it's recorded that mankind is infected with a concept called "sin" so that in fact, yes, there is no hope for men beyond immediate pleasure and satisfaction during their short lives on earth, that are full of suffering as a result of this "sin" entering the world. a God here is presented who is completely holy, powerful and righteous, with all authority to judge and condemn, and who will have mercy on whom He will. the record here says that man is utterly depraved, base and without understanding or with any good intention in his heart, poisoned and corrupted by pride.
here in this book also it is written that God made a way - Jesus - through which mankind can be reconciled, that sin is forgiven, and that through faith in Him we can come not only to understanding, but be adopted as sons of God and become transformed in the fullness of time into something incomprehensibly glorious.
the book here says that without first trusting Him, we cannot hope to understand or to share in this life that He offers us.
so it's up to you. will you take the step He asks you to take, and trust the manner of His teaching, or will you reject Him, trust your own thinking and philosophy, which itself has no testimony other than what it says about itself, and is only corroborated by your own experience, which we admit is insufficient to understand or prove all things? red pill or blue pill? finite, corrupt, proven-to-be-fallible thinking of mankind? or the offer of the one that claims to be the author and finisher of all creation, proven by the record in this, the most influential and powerful collection of writings in the history of the world?
i cannot "prove" God to you. i won't even try. all i can tell you is that if you put your faith in Him, and keep it there, even when it doesn't make sense, but wait patiently on Him, for the time scales that He works in are not the timescales that we normally understand things, He is faithful to make these things comprehensible to you. this is my experience and is the testimony of millions of men and women before me.
