He showed His face once.
They spit in it.
Then they crucified Him.

First of all, you insist that God work in humanly ways! That's called hubris.
Secondly, if you believe, or try to believe, in Jesus, you know that God did something that SHOULD be almost as good as showing his face: He showed us His loving side in the form of His Son. 2000 years later, and maybe 10% of the world acknowledges that.
Yeah, I wish I could see God's face, too, but my wants are not God's wants.
I'm not sure which memory you think was wiped. I think I understand "relearning" things that were forgotten.
God put poison on the earth because he put everything on the earth. I thought that was clear enough in the Christian Bible, which I happen to think has fictional elements in it.
Did someone promise you a rose garden?
Do you hear God laughing after an accidental suicide? Where did you get such a question?
For this forum, you really should construct your questions in a more sensible manner, just so you can be taken seriously.
You have presumed that God is screwed up, when it might be the notion of God that you absorbed that is screwed up.
By the way, I'm not a believer, but I think such a noble concept as God could use a defense since he doesn't seem to be around to answer your annoying questions.

if God was just a being of flesh then you'd have a point..
but scripture indicates that God is made of higher stuff.. of a sort that would fry us if he showed his face to us.
it states that when God comes close to earth, it trembles with his presence... either that's true or it isnt. none of us really have personal evidence on that.
but if its true it explains why he doesnt show his face to anyone.
in the same way that the fellow got killed just by touching the ark when he thought it might fall when it was jostled.. even though only the priests were given permission to be close to the ark.
same way that people cant get too close to a live electrical wire without the possibility of getting electrocuted.
and like the way that God had to protect Moses when he asked to see God.. and God put him in the cleft of a rock, stretched out his hand toward Moses to protect him from the greater glory that radiated from God, and only showed his hinder parts to him.
.
there's been a pretty good campaign in informing people what is poisonous and what isnt. and God from Genesis informed the people what would cause death.
so i dont see that you have any valid argument there.

Does love have a face? Does energy? He shows up every now and again. He doesn't show to be spit upon. He once showed Himself as a man, but the men didn't show Him even human decency, They even killed the Man. He is not mocked. But He will show again in man form soon, but are we ready for that? Are you?
Toxins are created by man. "No," you say, "God created these." I say, "Not in lethal doses. He has made these things for medicine, but man wants more and to poison the bugs, and the bees and the rivers, and the lakes, and the clouds and the air that we breath. We die a slow death from our own mistakes, not God's. Leukemia and Cancer is from these and other choice toxins in our environment that we put together for our 'needs and enjoyment.' Again, not God's fault. Talk to a Native American, and he can show you more of what I say.
God has many faces as well as fingerprints. Just not the ones you are used to associating God with.

It pisses me off the everyone blames God for what they themselves have done. We chose to come here where God isn't, to show God how well we could do on our own. We asked not to remember, we made the poison, we make the poison available by not caring and there are no accidents. Grow up, and find the truth. You won't be so cocky then.

Conservative Christians usually fall back on the ‘free will’ argument to answer this. It is, of course, a totally bogus excuse. According to their own lore, the Christian God was a miracle-making fool back in the day, revealing himself constantly – often to kill a significant percentage of his creation just because he was pissed-off about one thing or another.
On the other hand, he does seem to make frequent appearances on tortillas, pizza pans, and grilled cheese sandwiches. Maybe he is just hungry and has been too weak to whip-up any really good stuff for the last 2000 years.

NO!!! Because if we saw his face we would die,because he is so Holy. Well....the reason why we can't remember the beginning of time or creation is because we were never there.Yes the Knowledge is good, but some things aren't meant to be known.Everything God makes is wonderful.But Satan came along, and tricked us into sin. Since we sin and are sinful we wouldn't have handled a perfect world.Even though this world was good to begin with we ruined it with pollution, and global warming,etc...

In Heaven, the only knowlege you need to know is God exists, everything else is superfluous, because He provides all the answers.
And He shows His face alot more than you think.

I agree.
I went to a catholic school for three years, but I'm Jewish! Judaism approaches god so differently. Sometimes i don't even want to believe in him
