Uncertainty of Faith

The fact that God does not reveal Himself has been met with the following answer: if God were to reveal Himself, human beings would no longer be free. God, however, created us free, and it is we who make the choice. It is also thought that this choice depends less on reason than on morality: it is said that, in order to believe in God, we should not keep adding proof upon proof, but rather free ourselves from our vices.

If God were to appear openly before us, who would dare to disobey Him?

I do not know whether these answers are convincing.
