What would change your mind?

[hyperchord24]

I hope this is the right place to post this and I wonder if the subject has been broached before.  What could God do to prove his existence?  Everyone runs around saying, I can't see him, so sorry.  If you asked a christian, they'd say the bible proves his existence.  Forget that.  What sort of things would he have to do to prove it.  Show his face from the heavens?  Flood the earth?  End all suffering?  What could make you change your mind?

I don't know. All I know is that there isn't anything convincing yet. If there is an all-powerful and/or all-knowing god out there, I'm sure it would know how to change my mind. Either it doesn't exist or it doesn't care too much about my beliefs.

This has been asked a whole bunch of times before, so a search on the forum will turn up lots of results from people before. Also we like it when new people introduce themselves.

But how about this: If I was walking outside, and rays of light appeared before me, and a man descended from the sky, and said, "hey buddy, I'm Jesus" and told me intimate details about my life and said "yeah, it is all real... I know, I know, lots of rules and such, but, trust me, it's for the best" and then he walked out into the middle of a lake and made the lake wine and then rose into the sky again, I would honestly believe. My three options would be 1) it's real, 2) it's something else like aliens or mind control, or 3) I'm totally out of my mind, and I figure in that instance 1 would be just as likely as 2, and if it was 3 and I *was* totally out of my mind, I would be so crazy as to not realize it, and I'd still go with #1.

How in the world do you put such a complicated question into a search query?

I think people on this forum are tired of being asked this question over and over so it might result in a lack of replies.

I'll make a fresh reply even though I'm sure I've answered the question a few times now.

For me it wouldn't be as simple as believing or not believing because of one thing or another.

There are things that make me think about the existence of a god, the possibility of it. There's nothing so far I've seen that makes me think any of the main stream religions are right.

Because I've not seen anything that remotely makes me think there's anything to mainstream religions there's never been much point in thinking about god.

I don't believe if there's a God he wants me to do what other people say he wants me to do, if he exists fine, if not fine. I just get on with it.

Wow, this makes me sad. I really thought I had something original.

Don't be sad, little one.

I'll let Jesus come inside me if he let's me cum inside him first.

Since I was once an atheist I will say that looking for evidence in nature will never suffice. The evidence for God is about nature not within it.

Show up in person, perform a supernatural miracle that is open to investigation and do it more than once.
