God: An Episode Of Mass Hysteria

God could show up in the world and tell us all that he exists and tell us to live right, and after departing, parts of the world would be convinced--and try to convince others--that it was an episode of mass hysteria. Others would live their lives in peace and love until eventually they didn't, because it was too difficult. Some would remain dedicated the rest of their lives, but not many. Scientists would prove the "science" behind the event. Some people would forget. Newborns wouldn't believe it as they came to grow. Those of opposing religions would break down into chaos, and to compensate for their crumbling religion, initiate countless holy wars.

The reason God isn't present in our lives (like a physical friend) is because we want to sin. He offers retribution, we demand sin. He tells us life is going to be hard, we still blame him. He tells us people will die, and we're okay with the fact until it happens to someone we know. We look at what these false Christians do and think God must have made them do it.
We hurt each other. We step on people to get ahead. We steal. We hate. We mock. We tease. We bully. We fight. We murder. Every day. People who believe in God and don't believe in God--we all do it. We find a lost wallet and entertain the thought of taking the money inside--even if we don't in the end. The seed of sin is planted. Without it, we'd be blind followers. Life would have no purpose. It is the power of choice. Choose God, or
