Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Sorry for long absence. You need not worry though; I haven't found the Lord, nor has he found me. If he's been looking for me, well, he's probably not as bright as his omniscience implies. All he has to do is Google me after all.

Anyways, ... I do not believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder. First, no one seems to has missed my posts, and second, God has been absent from my life for some 25 years, and if anything, I moved from mild fondness, to loathing, and then to apathy for this figure. However, much of humanity seems to have the opposite reaction. The more the evidence piles up for the absence of this being from the universe, the fonder of him some people seem to become.
