And no one from any other religion has ever claimed to see their god....
Some of them probably smarter than you.

Let's try something...
Do you even know what Shiva looks like? Do you know where and how to look? What if Shiva does not present himself in the way you are expecting? Could you still identify him as Shiva?
Just as I thought. Just as meaningless as your statement.
