How is that common sense? To me that is actually the lack of common sense, and the thing that irks me about religion. If there is an all powerful being who created mankind, his lack of presence in his creation is kind of lame. And if he is revealing himself to only a select few, and telling them to either go annoy the crap out of people by pounding on their doors while they are trying to eat dinner or by blowing people up, in the name of spreading his kingdom, then that is pretty lame too.

Common sense to me says that if there was a God who created the universe, he wouldn't have just created it and left his creation to be confused and go about hating each other in his name, he would be involved in it (a religion), and that instead of just revealing himself to crazies and those who are lucky enough to be blessed with believing parents to start them on the straight path, he would be slightly more equal opportunity and reveal himself to the rational skeptical sort every now and then, thereby making himself known and preventing people from slitting throats/interrupting dinner in his name.

I don't think a "hit-and-run" God would be a very commonsensical one.

I think any talk of 'common sense' is fairly out of place in a talk about religion.

I'd go so far as to say 'common sense' as an expression is fairly useless in any discussion, but even moreso with religion.
