God is into hiding because of the 'belief' thing. If a particular person has had an actual face to face with God, that person is no longer a believer, at that point, he knows for sure.
And knowing how much God loves believers, it wouldn't surprise me too much if the folks he actually encounters, and therefore KNOW instead of believe in him, that he then dispatches to Hell when they die since they are not believers.
