I am VERY curious as to what the awnser to this is.
Instead of just being passive, I will attempt to awnser this myself...hmmm.
He's too good for some of us? JK
He may have shown himself to a few people to pass it on, but he must have known there are going to be quacks as well, with such conviction in their beliefs they are willing to kill for it.
Because of the possibilty of being convinced of nearly any matter at hand when relying souly on emotions and the say so of others, even to the point of getting people to kill themselves, reason is our only means of decerning truth from falsehood.
By that fact, if reason is our only means of decerning truth, of acknowleging facts of reality, wh ywould he not prove himself through the only valid way neccesary?
Instead of second hand sources?
Look within you might say.
The only truth I find there is Existence exists, I am conscious, and I can be no other at the same place and at the same time.
Hmmmmm.
The only conclusion I can come to is that IF he exists, he wants us to live through our own efforts. His intention is for us to do our own thinking, come to our own conclusions, to become fully mature and eventually become independant from him.
Of course if he is there/here, he will prefer to be there only when you need him.
In times of despair and severe doubt.
Like a good parent.
All good parents love thier children, but want them to eventually make it on their own.
The success of independance in any offspring should oversee any debt the parent expects from the child.
Would not gods ultimate reward be to see us succeed on our own?
To see us become an independant race?
So to awnser my own question.....he does not want us to see him.
And now for the truth of the matter....
