Well the thing is, IF there is a GOD then what does he look like? He might look like that old man on the movie " Think God" or some hideous creature. OR perhaps he doesnt LOOK like anything because hes just energy? And why do i keep saying HE, it could be a SHE or an IT. OR it might not even exist. One theory I have and one I am leaning more towards is that "GOD" is aliens. Aliens created us as a project to study. Just like we do to the animal world! Put them together, hope they breed and see what happens.... Just like spirits of the deceased, You will see them how they believe you will accept them. If your grandmother for example died at the ripe age of 87. But you havent seen her for 20 years, she will probably appear to you at the age you last saw her and woudl remember her! Perhaps "god" would do the same. Perhaps IF there is one, you have walked straight past him/her/it and not even realised!

God reveals Himself differently to different people.
Just because a color-blind person can't see the color green, doesn't make the grass any less real to those of us who can see it.
Have you ever seen a picture made by the artist M.C. Escher?
Many people can look at his pictures and see various ways of looking at them. It's a matter of perspective. Many people look at his pictures and can only see one perspective - even though he drew them to be seen in various ways.

This isn't a lesson in art, but a lesson in perspective.
God is revealing Himself, you just have to look - with an open heart and mind - not with the close-minded prejudices we have all been taught. It's amazing how the Christians are accused of being close-minded, but if we're going to be honest, everyone is to some extent.

Yes, there is a reason,no, God is not scared .He is real and He wants people to know it.The reason we can't see Him is -out of love it would kill us to . He is brighter than a Laser and ,you know what they can do When God said " Let there be Light, " there was a explosion ,( one that cannot be measured ) and that Light was a Physical Manifestation of God, and everything in Creation stems from The Presence Of That Light.

God shows Himself in lots of ways. He even walked this earth for 30+ years. He even promises to show Himself again someday.
God isn't afraid of showing Himself. Did you know that God promises that if you ask Him to, He will show Himself to you?
Try opening your heart instead of just your eyes...you'll see Him...

He shows Himself to those that believe - I see Him in everything all day long - He speaks to me through His Word and others
you need to believe and then He will show Himself to you

Okay, will you consider this issue.
You are demanding that God meet you on YOUR terms. God is not a puppy dog or trained bunny rabbit or two-bit magician.
Do you demand that a head of a country or a CEO do your bidding?
But somehow if God doesn't jump through your hoops that means that he's not real. That logic sounds pretty arrogant to me.

God's plan is that we come down to this earth, and live by faith. If he appeared to everyone, that faith would not be necessary anymore. You would have knowledge and would not need your faith. However, since we are to learn to live by faith, then he keeps himself veiled from the world. He does however, talk and communicate to us through his appointed prophets. He does that today, speak through his prophets just like his has throughout all human history. He spoke to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Christ. He speaks to us today through his prophets as well.

well pal, you're wrong. God walked on the surface of this earth as Jesus Christ, in person. Poeple saw God, people touched God, people were cured by God, people were blessed by God, people were forgiven by God...all in person and he left behind the evidence and the truth so the coming generations will embrace and follow him.
Yet, people refused to believe and demanding to see God. i wish you goodluck, may the good Lord come unto your personal life soon and you may experience Him greatly, to the extend you will not question His existence anymore. amen.

The Creator of the universe, scared? not
He wants people to know he is real by what he has sent you to read and most importantly His Son. We have been given many ways to know He is real. You just refuse to seek the truth.

What would be the point. Those who do believe would still and those who didn't would seek to find how the 'hoax' was perpetrated.
No, now is not yet the time for a major spiritual upheaval on this planet, but soon, my friends.
