Do humans always accept proofs when presented to them?

RE: Do humans always accept proofs when presented to them?
People generally accept good proof. I think that's a part that you're missing. If I give you proof that you are actually an Octopus, but it is not good proof, are you just going to accept it?

You say God is obvious, but God is not so obvious at all. When God speaks, only individuals listen. Never large groups of people from vastly different cultures and backgrounds. Not once. For God to be obvious, he (or she) would need to speak not just to the individual, but to all. Yet no god has ever done this. No god has ever given the same set of instructions to two cultures vastly different and vastly far apart.

First you would have to prove that there is a God. Then you would have to prove that it's YOUR god, and not some other god. That it's not Zeus, or Odin, or Akatosh, or Faerore, Nayru and Din. Then you would have to prove that what you say about your god is true.

It's not so simple that you can spout some philosophical bullshit that sounded good to you at the time, and constitute it as proof. That's not proof.
