Living in a multi-cultural information age society, where the various religions origins and essential differences can be studied, it becomes clear that GOD, as understood by believers, vary enormously in character, form and nature.
Even in one religion, such as Christianity, the nature of GOD and his/ her/it's (he/his from here on) participation or intervention or interaction with his creation varies form the vengeful and smiting interventionist GOD of the Old Testament, to the compassionate and forgiving loving God, absent since departure, of the new.
Many educated people realise that their contextual based conditioning from youth regarding their views concerning truth are but another perspective. Thus they search for the immutable aspects amongst the multitude of visions trying to find a firm basis from which to rebuild an understanding of the world which transcends culturally biased paradigms in order get closer to the truth about reality.
For such a person GOD seems to exist as a conjecture. So how can I know the face of the GOD and if there be one at all?
