(lee-oh-HEE-mer-iz-m; n.) 1. The belief that not getting what one prays for proves that God does not exist; 2. By extension, the belief that God's nonsusceptibility to experimental proof demonstrates his nonexistence (although I can't prove by experimentation that my sister exists, since she doesn't hold still long enough for me to show her to anybody). (From the Greek
λεον ήμερης [leon hemeres] "tame lion": from C.S. Lewis's analogy of people thinking of God as a tame lion who performs upon command, and then cease to believe in him at all when he doesn't do as we ask (demand).)
"Leohemerist"---a person who believes in leohemerism; "Leohemic" or "Leohemeric"---of or pertaining to leohemerism or leohemerists.

"I asked God over and over to cure George's cancer, but he didn't do it." "I once asked my history professor to tell me the answers to a midterm, but he wouldn't do it either." "Isn't George a little more important than a stupid midterm?!---Why wouldn't God save George? He either won't, which is mean, or he can't, which means he's not God." "That's illogical ... it's leohemerism: should I stop believing in my history teacher?"
