I talk to God all the time. He is with you all the time. But if he came in human form I'd be happy because this would mean I could hug him. (hug probably= tackle but oh well)

Awesome!
That's because as a Pagan, deity isn't something to be feared; rather, it is the substance that makes us who we are. Facing God, or facing Goddess is simply facing that aspect of deity that makes us us.
Pagans, or Wiccans face deity in ritual often. When we die, we aren't threatened by some concept of eternal punishment, so we don't aproach death with some terrible fear. Most of us believe that we are on part of a much longer journey, and this is merely one more step.
Death is strange, so for experiencing that, there is some trepidation; it's like a journey into the unknown and culture seems to have lost the map. Still, some have done a great deal of work and many of us are beginning to understand death in a way that removes some of that culturally induced fear. It's still a dramatic change; we still miss people, but we aren't afraid that our loved ones will burn in hell while we party in heaven. (or the other way around)
So.... as I've met deity in ritual often, and as I don't believe in heaven or hell, I have no fear or trepidation in meeting deity in death. When it's time for me to shed this temporary shell, I simply hope that I've lived a life that will have those who remain here looking back with fondness. Was I kind, loving, ready to share what I had... I hope that people will answer in the affirmative to these questions. That's what I'm looking forward to.

I think if I had to face God, I would be humbled in His presence but I also would know that it was my time, and feel good about what I have done on Earth so far, and who I am, today. He already knows what I've done in my past, and knows that I have a good, loving, Christian heart. I do my best with each day, not for me, but for all who I meet. I think I would feel utter love and total peace............we shall see when the day comes. Who really knows but Him?

All of my life, especially since I had both of my children, I have always thought if I could just get to see God, if I could just get to touch the tip of his gown, that would be enough for me, if I am ever worthy enough just to get to see him, although I don't think I will ever be worthy of that, I don't know if I could look at him for the fear that I would find out that I'm not worthy. The feeling, I cannot explain because there are no words on earth that can describe such a feeling.

Which god would I be facing, exactly?
How close would I be to said god?
Would I be actually able to see this god?
Would I not, say, explode just from being in its presence?

At first I would be amazed, but very humbled. I wouldn't ask any "why questions", I would hope that I could be in heaven with him.

What "god"? Prove that one exists.
Somehow, I doubt you will; every time I tell a godbot to prove it, all they do is pull out their book of fairytales.
