In the documentary film, Expelled by Ben Stein, the famous atheist-evolutionist Richard Dawkins was a prominent character. He is also known for his vehement hatred of God and religion in general having written books like The God Delusion. Towards the end of the film, Stein asked Dawkins what he would say if he died and hypothetically met God in heaven. Dawkins gave an answer -- in no indifferent tone -- from the famous atheist Bertrand Russell: "Sir, why did you take such pains to hide yourself?" It was almost as if he was asking the question from the heart.
I can empathize with Dawkins, because I've struggled with doubt and the existence of God very intensely. And one of the best answers to his question, if not the best, is to find the Persecuted Church. For there he will find God. If he truly wants to find God and see where God has not hidden himself, then in my opinion the Persecuted Church is the best place to look. There is nothing on Earth like it.
