Bit of an oversimplification, just show up with something tangible. That's not to much to ask of an all-powerful loving being, now is it?

Well, one thing is for sure and that is you are looking externally in the material world. And by doing so you turn a blind eye to the internal/consciousness.
Btw, do you play video games? Wouldn't you say the programmer of the games you play are all powerful? Does it mean if the programmer never shows up and proves he is the programmer that the programmer behind it doesn't exist?
Internal is not reliable. Everything internal can be nothing but figments of our imagination.

Tell me, if your eyes are the only way to see, then how are dreams possible?
The third eye is the pineal gland. Which regulates BOTH the world you see, and the world beyond. It is the levels of certain chemicals that make up the difference between the 2 worlds. If it starts to kick up the levels of chemicals while you are still awake, you will start to hallucinate and see things in this reality. It's what certain drugs do. But in reality, the biggest dose of those drugs you will ever get comes at night while you are sleeping. Such high doses that it's one reason you don't remember much of it. If it happened during the day, then you are "crazy and see hallucinations".

Who are you to criticize how people worship? I didn't see any duress or force being used against these people. How they find God and spiritual fulfillment is their business, not yours or mine or anybody else's.
Good for them. They are looking for a higher power.
It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg how they do it, so I'll let them be -and so should you.
That fact that you are trying to besmirch their character by comparing them to drug users and mental patients is bigotry and shameful.
