I think God would make himself known if he has a purpose for people which require that knowledge. However, given that he's God, he hasn't done a very good job of making his existence crystal clear. So at best, I'd argue he's a trickster God, or that he is shamelessly using us for experiments.
I think a non-personal Deist creator-God makes sense. I can even imagine God as a kind of mental universe of which each mind is a part. But a good God who fucks with us and make kids suffer-- not getting my vote for "good."
