If there was a God, would He be responsible for your lack of faith in Him?

If you are referring to the previous conversations we had about my previous theistic beliefs, using your forest analogy; I never saw any trees, I just believed they were there because everybody I believed in and trusted told me the trees were there. So it’s not like I actually walked away from any trees, I just walked away from the BELIEF that there were trees.B.

Who walked away from whom would be a better question and why.-
