The Divine Crime Scene

Theists often argue that God doesn't reveal himself because he respects our free will, that he wants us to choose between heaven and hell. This is an incredibly stupid argument, but I am going to answer it logically and politely (from here on out).

Atheists are atheists because there is no evidence for the existence of any deity (including the Christian god). If God existed, and he wanted us to choose our afterlife, the logical thing that he would have done is reveal himself, or at least give some evidence of his existence. But there is no evidence. No data. Making a choice requires data. Why? Let's examine an analogy.

The title of this post is The Divine Crime Scene, not because of any crime committed by the Christian God (although he is a criminal), but because of the analogy that I will now use.

When one is accused of committing a crime, one goes to a hearing. At the hearing, the different sides present their cases using evidence. The judge or jury then decides if the person is guilty or innocent. If there was no evidence, then the decree would simply be a random guess. Is this a good way to make a choice? No!

Therefore, if God existed, wasn't an idiot, and cared about our free will, then the least he would do would be to provide evidence for his existence. Since there is no evidence, the logical assumptions would be that (a) God doesn't exist, (b) He is an idiot, or (c) He doesn't care about our free will. None of which are beneficial to the apologist.

So what do you think? Does God care about our free will? Does he even exist? Please explain your answer.
