Default God lost his MoJo?

OK theists, explain this one...

God did all these things like part the red sea and all these great easily tangible "miracles" happened in the bible like the burning bush andJesus walking on water and turning water into wine. He created a great flood and somehow got all the animals to cooperate.

So what's your excuse for why God decided to permanently close up his magic show? I bet some of the punishments we got back then we today call earthquakes and hurricanes.

I'm not saying his explanation is convenient I'm saying the whole "faith" concept is pretty convenient.

Anything I say that doesn't make sense or can't be physically possible? No problem, take it on faith!!!

That way I never really have to explain anything to you that I can't and you'll just keep on following!

I've found that when I examine something having already decided what the outcome will be, conclusions come out slightly biased.

God wants us to seek Him. If He's already there, how are we supposed to seek?

He didn't want us to seek him back then but he does now?

Elaborate

Once God got his show up and running he left us to get on with it and went to sit quietly on the sidelines to take notes on how we do..
Even Jesus's last words as he died were "It is finished"
Nowadays if we want razzmattazzy magic shows we go see Criss Angel;)

Atheists are like a radio operator with earphones on, hunched over his radio set twiddling the knob between just 5 wavelengths (analoguous to our 5 human senses) He doesn't know there are thousands more wavelengths out there.
In the past he's twiddled further looking for them, but all he got was mostly static, so he gave up and stuck with his trusty old 5.
Christians on the other hand have acquired the mindset of being able to tune into wavelengths that he can't -
"We look at things unseen rather than the seen,for the seen are temporary,but the unseen are eternal" (2 Cor 4:18 )
I had a radio once that had an "auto-search" option, it was fun putting it on "search" to automatically scan the airwaves, it locked onto a station for a few seconds, then scanned on to stop at another, and so on.
Most of the stops were no good, very faint or crackly with barely-audible foreign language coming through, it might have been Radio Timbuctoo for all i knew...
But every now and again it'd stop at a station that came through loud and clear and interesting, whether it be good music or interesting discussion in English, and i'd halt the scan and stick with it.
Likewise in real life I've scanned many religions in my own mind by reading about them and weighing them up, but there's only ONE that has ever reached out and grabbed me in a vice-like grip, -Christianity
