The Israelites ate food from God in the desert...yet they still fashioned a false god! Does this sound like their one God was making decisions for them?
Where does it say that, the bible? Because a 3000+ year old thirdhand account that has been retranslated several times (multiple times in the same language, even) is a very reliable historical document.

Think about this: How could God possibly give "us" His Divinity w/o having to worship us?
If indeed we can perfect our lives, like & through Jesus' demonstration of Love and Faith without seeing Him...We then become worthy of ALL He has to give us!
"I Hid My Face From Them...For But A Moment."
Why 'without seeing him'? Who would worship something that didn't exist? Here's an idea: You go and pray to every god that has ever been created. Make a list, and spend one day praying only to one god, and then the next day move to the next god. When you are done, see which day was the best and which god you prayed to and viola! You've just found the One True Faith! Just have a little faith, what's the worst that could happen? /sarcasm
