Oh! don't you want to understand, that this world has blinded you, so that you can not know about God? Cause if you love this world then you can not know God, but you are like earthly and from earth.
So do not live anymore in joys of this world, instead cover yourselves from this world, so your hearts is not to earthly, but to heavenly ways, and that you search God with full heart, and you stay in Lord Jesus Christ and not walk in lost ways.
Search and you will find, because who will search, it will find.
Romans 12:2 ESV - Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
I guess it comes down to which "god" one sees? I think many do know about god, but his disciples have done an excellent job alienating others from him.
I feel there is too much fighting in-house and there is really no reason for me or most people to even be associated with a church where all I get is OPPRESSION, INTIMIDATION, THREATS OF BANISHMENT, and MANIPULATION to be a cookie-cutter mindless religious zombie.

This is the time to stay away from organized religion. Well it is always the time, but you know what I mean. We all have access to the Holy Spirit because of Jesus Christ. He did away with the Judaic priesthood over 2000 years ago. We come to him, through him, with boldness and have no need for any high priest except our Savior and King.
Jesus stood against, oppression, intimidation, threats of banishment and manipulation. If you want to know God, Mikko is right; set your eyes and heart on enquiring after Him. Enoch lived a normal life, like most of us and then managed to turn his attentions in later life, so much so that it is said he didnt die, and was translated into the next world. Start where you are, with what faith you have, something like "God, if you're out there..."

Look to Jesus, not man!
