It's certainly not always easy being a Christian. I've gotten into the habit of facebook when I poop and I always make the mistake of looking at the comments section of Christian related news posts. There is a lot of hatred out there for believers, most of it I think is misunderstanding and misrepresentation. Either way, I guess it's not nearly as bad as whatever David is facing here.

God does certainly seem to be a master of balance. He also seems to show just enough of himself, but not enough to deny us our free will. He gives us enough evidence of His existence without making it so obvious that faith is not required. Just enough prophecy that we can be assured, but not enough that skeptics can't come up with their own theories.
