David Koresh used to ask people to seek and speak with God.
I'm pretty certain Osama did too.
I believe Hitler did and even claimed his actions were divinely authorised.

There is still an open CFR on that you saw God, so you first.

You don't even have any experience here. You never sought God and he showed up. You had to be an evil apostate. I was a follower of God, or what I was taught about God. I don't think this God actually exists, but I am open about any options. I think it just shows how ignorant and self absorbed people can be to think we haven't spent a lot of time seeking the LDS God. The problem is that you need some other answer to explain the problem brought up in the OP which has still been ignored.

Clearly you don't understand what a CFR is.

The OP is absurd. If you wish to diligently and faithfully seek God, do so. If you don't, then do not. But don't whine about trying.

We'll see. When you see God, you can ask him.
