Why Isn't God Visible?

Do tell. Never found him myself, and not for want of looking. If he's really there, why is he hiding?

God is as visible as he chooses to be.
People are as blind as they want to be.
It also depends on what you think you are seeing, when you look.

Perhaps he's hiding behind a stinking snarfus.

Some stinking snarfuses won't let you get close enough to look though.
For the same reason I can't see myself.
A mirror shows me my face, as do the faces of other people. I see a bit of myself in their responses to my words and deeds. I know myself through desires, preferences and instincts, a barrage of sensation, and the constant, comforting presence of thought. But I've never seen myself. Need I be visible to know myself?
(I've been reading too much Gibran.)

Great post, Patty. I like this explanation for God's invisibility very much.

that's easy, he's invisible because you can't see him.

Oh phil, he is visible!
Right now, he's on my desk telling me he likes tickles! When i figure out how to, i'll teach him naughty words, as well.
