Seeing as I haven't heard credible reports, no, it doesn't fit my bill at all. If they really believe, they need to do a better job of spreading the word.

You not having seen them isn't due to them not existing. You just don't want to look. We even have pictures. Go, spread the word.
(cmon, I know that your little criteria list was bullshit and so do you...you're pointlessly defending yourself..lol - you need more than what you offered to believe in a god - there's nothing wrong with that.)

Yep. They can get the info to me. That was clear in my post.

Oh but they've tried....after all, here I am....discussing it with you, you're just a reprobate that doesn't want to be saved.

Now you're forgetting the key word credible. What makes you think that an atheist has any credibility as a religious evangelist? You're not really that dumb are you? Just bored I suppose?

You are an atheist too alpha. Do you believe in Krishna?

The big question for me is how a theist can tell I'm not an arbitrarily powerful alien.
I can do whatever tricks you want me to do, I have the technology, and you can't see it. How do you know if I'm a trickster or god?

Do you have to personally see me do all these things, or will you take someone else's word for it?
As you're still alive, if I heard credible reports, I'd come and check it out for myself. Regarding credible reports, the reporters would need to have changed their life to spread your word, and it would be helpful if you gave them miraculous powers as well.
But now, alpha, you're just following the old babble script about the so-called apostles. It's 2015. Although some sheeple will still believe what a preacher tells them, most folks now want evidence. Measurable, testable, reproducible, recorded evidence. People will change their lives and follow a cult for the oddest of reasons - I need incontrovertible scientific proof.
And even with that proof, it wouldn't mean that this "deity" was worthy of worship.

If I'd died (or disappeared), and all the dudes I gave powers too had died (or disappeared), but there were loads of textual accounts of all this stuff which is said to be sufficient, would that be enough evidence that I was god?
