i mean after all, you have to have 'faith' in order to believe in the one we've got right?...if i were god, i would make damn sure my creation knew exactly who, what , and where i was at all times so that it could pay me the homage i deserve...

i guess it's true what they say...christians really do not have a sense of humor and absolutley do not recognize sarcasm when they see it.

He is only inaccessible to those who don't bother trying. All that call upon Him shall be saved. Until you take a step and put effort into it, you will not be shown. You've got to believe what you are told, even if it's just a little. The smallest amount of faith can bring wonders.

All of creation DOES know who He is, they just didn't understand how to pay homage in the way He wanted it. Hence all of the different religions and such in the world. Creation itself shows His power and glory, you choose to give Him credit or not.

If you were 'God', would you be as accessible to your creation as Yahweh/Jehovah is to His?
i mean after all, all you need is a speck of 'faith' in order to believe in the one we've got right?

Jehovah is not "inaccessible" to His creation, but actually INVITES humans to return to Him and draw close to Him.

(James 4:8) Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you.

(Isaiah 55:6) Search for Jehovah, you people, while he may be found. Call to him while he proves to be near.

(Psalm 34:18) Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart

(Isaiah 1:18) Come, now, you people, and let us set matters straight between us,” says Jehovah. “Though the sins of you people should prove to be as scarlet, they will be made white just like snow; though they should be red like crimson cloth, they will become even like wool.

(Acts 17:27-30) He is not far off from each one of us. For by him we have life and move and exist...‘For we are also his progeny.’ “Seeing, therefore, that we are the progeny of God, we ought not to imagine that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, like something sculptured by the art and contrivance of man. True, God has overlooked the times of such ignorance, yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent.

He's hardly inaccessible, you just have to be willing to put some time into learning about him. He doesn't want empty homage... he wants those who want to follow him... even if it takes some effort getting to know him.

You sound as though you're approaching tyrrany. If you have kids, are you going to hold them by the hand every second of their childhood to make sure they always do "the right thing" and always respect you? Sounds like a daunting and unfulfilling task to me.

We have access to God at all times, in all places and we know who He is.

If you are not a Christian you do not have access to Him. However, if you want access to and knowlege of God all you have to do is accept Christ as your Savior!

God does not need subservience. You're just too full of yourself!
