What if we're all wrong though?

My mother told me that if 'God' made himself apparent, it would negate the necessity of 'Faith'. As if that makes any kind of sense at all.

Yeah, this is the kind of thing that the believers have to tell themselves so they can rationalize why this being never makes himself known.

But if this is true, why did this being materialize as a man and walk the Earth for three decades performing all sorts of miracles? Not to mention that he resurrected himself and bodily ascended up to heaven in front of witnesses! How is all this consistent with the belief that "God" doesn't appear to us because "it would negate the necessity of faith"?
