Why reveal yourself in a way that requires faith? Aside from freeing yourself of the burden of proof? So we are left to guess as to which of the numerous holy books our species has written over the ages is telling the truth. And, if we guess wrong, we're punished, eternally. The idea that God would create the universe and everything in it because he wanted people (who inhabit a remote planet that doesn't even amount to a speck in its own galaxy, let alone the universe) to either love Him or burn is hard for me to understand. Maybe all the holy books are right, and we just read them wrong....
