God is visible. You just have to know where and how to look.

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.

I'm pretty sure God is seen in the antics of puppies, the faces of children, and the glory of a sunrise.

God does not need to hide. if you cant see him in your snarfus perhaps you are not close enough.

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?

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.

And I thought he was playing hide and seek all these years. I am sooooooooo naive.

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.

Please prove there is a god, if he is so visible.
