... will you unconditionally accept Him as your God?

Yes, or no is fine.

I don't know exactly what "accept" means. I would acknowledge he exists. That's about it. I'm not going to kiss his arse. We can be friends if he wants to and he's not a jerk.

I guess "accept" means "except" to you? Hardly yes or no.

I think, if we're talking about the god of the bible, we're already pretty sure he's a jerk.

What do you mean by 'find' that he exists? Different responses may be required depending on how I find out that he exists. If it's just a voice in my head, or seeing the sun dance, I'm not sure that's good enough reason to believe. If he presents himself overhead to all people in all nations, that's a different hypothetical, but I would not jump to the conclusion that this is necessarily 'God' of the bible. It could be a different god, the devil, a different supernatural creature, or aliens with advanced technology.
What exactly are you proposing as the experience which leads me to find that He exists?

Nope, the fact that I'm not christian has nothing to do with whether or not the christian god exists. I have an ethical objection. That's what I find so delicious about my interactions with christers desperate to convince me, btw.

Like Rob said, I'd have no choice but to accept that it exists, but that's a far cry different than accepting it as my lord and savior and devoting myself entirely to it, which I would never do, regardless, because I'm not that kind of guy. Worship, as a concept, is despicable to me.
I could learn to respect and be friendly with this hypothetical god entity, if it proves deserving of such, but that's as far as I could go. Unless it looked like Mila Kunis/Emma Stone/Natalie Portman. Then I could go a bit farther.

Yeah, I guess the question is just talking about the God of the bible, but if I found out "God" was real I'd not have any expectations that there would be any correlation.
Agreed, worship is a disgusting notion. I'm not worshipping anything.

To the OP:
If you found out Satan existed and the god of the bible didn't, would you accept Satan as your God?
