Dear Atheists: what would convince you God/Christ is Real?

RE: Dear Atheists: what would convince you God/Christ is Real?
Hi Shiny Crystals (and Harry Haller),

How's it going? Is it below zero where you are? It is here!

1) God is Infinite, self-existing, without origin
2) God is Immutable, never changing

[Good list and discussion deleted]
In regards to the bolded part, I think god being immutable and never changing would not work in a universe that is constantly changing. What is the point of a universe being created by or ruled by something that never changes anyway? I am not sure if humanity, which is ever changing in terms of its society, would be something that could be considered compatible with such a being.
This is definitely a hard concept to get my head around. Yet I find that god being immutable and never changing is actually comforting. There is nothing I can count on in this world. (other than death and taxes, I guess) On the other hand, I can count on God always being God.

This too is one of the big problems. For me, the key is like Harry Haller said, “I am none of these things.” I am not all knowing. I can think of ways that are good ways to solve problems, and maybe, to some degree, they are good ways. But I don’t know everything. There could be all kinds of reasons that I can’t see why my solution is less than another solution.
