I had asked you a simple question of, in your mind, what you think would happen if God were to physically appear before you. You couldn't even answer that:

When I present all of that nobody has ever been able to respond when I ask how I took things at face value?
Once again dating back to the other thread we're going to go through the same thing. Did you know that the problem isn't whether or not God exists? The problem is that you are rebellious against God. You hate him. You shake your fist at him.
You can read Exodus and see how involved God was when rescuing Israel. They were in the best possible position as they saw the 10 plagues, they had Moses and they were just rescued from Egypt. Even with all of that they still failed miserably in the desert. What hope could you possibly have with all the distractions of this world today?
Here is the Bible passage that will give you the most problems:
Colossians 1:15-18 NIV
The Supremacy of the Son of God
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
It terrifies you that, if you were to admit God is real, then you would also have to admit that Jesus is Lord of your life and has the Supremacy. Not only that but you would also have to deal with the fact that you are a sinner and that you are going to face Judgement on the day you die. You want so bad for all of this to be made up so that you don't face any consequences for the life you lived in rebellion towards God. Do you remember when I kept linking to frodo's first message? The very first thing he says is "Realize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior". Let me link it to you again.

You asked me why should god appear before me. I replied to make sure he isn't a scammer. To see if he is real and can do what he claims to do. He needs to provide ID, receipts, physical proof. Talk is cheap.
And you asked me what outcome that would achieve which is the same thing really. It would mean we wouldn't need to rely on words alone.
Either put up proof or shut up. Why are you not getting this? Did you fall down some stairs or what?
