Why does God not show him/her/itself?

[Busby]

All of these answers, suggestions, rebuttals, advice and all the rest don't really answer my question and are also full of assumptions.

It seems that 2000 or so years ago a 'thing' we call 'god' sent his son, as his/its/her representative, to Earth to get us (starting with a handful of uneducated, illiterate and probably unwashed camel drivers, sheep farmers and fishermen) to set us on a right 'path' and to, right at the end, promise us a 'Kingdom of Heaven'. This KoH depends apparently in the end to a thing called 'rightousness' and to the following generations of these desert dwellers to have faith in something invisible, (except that of course which surrounds us, as for instance the chair upon which I am sitting) and to be morally perfect - which also gets very complicated especially if taken seriously.

So, to keep it short I'll be continuing to ask myself this question and puzzle over the thought that if 'god' had been, was, is visible, the choice I have between moral predicaments would be clear and still wouldn't prevent me being morally abominable if I so wished, seeing quite clearly (presumably) the consequences.

I'm one of these people who prefer clarity to confusion.
