Why doesn't God show himself?

[Petro]

Why doesn't God show himself

God has shown himself, and Abraham said to the rich man, while he was in torment after having died;

If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Even if God showed himself, people still would not be persuaded to repent.
 

Jhn 1
1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

1 Tim 3
16  .................God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

In response to looking with more than my eyes, ears, etc.:  
You all assume that I have not looked.  I spent several years of my life attending church.  Never did I feel what you all tell me I haven't searched for.  This feeling has never come to me after years of church and then searching for it on my own.  In those days I did not have the doubts that I have now.  But as I did not find this feeling, I began to search with my mind, my eyes, ears, etc. which has lead me to where I am now.

Someguy, I may run the risk of being kicked off here, but I must speak. I myself was a devout Baptist, and was baptised. When I noticed the world and the universe did not work as the Bible said, and that many concepts of the Bible were illogical, and that a lot of the stories sounded like bad fairy stories, I began to use my mind, eyes, ears, etc..
I came to the realization that if God and religion are out of the equation, the universe works without all the double speak, circular reasoning and logical contradictions. When I realised these things, I felt the freedom and truth the devout had always claimed for themselves.
Just my two cents worth.
