What would convince you that a god exists?

[ideologue08]

I'm happy to see that this thread has sparked so much conversation. For the record, I'm a convert from fundamentalist, generic, American, non-denominational Christianity. As such, the arguments I make against any god will be rooted in the understanding I have of this religion, so when I say, "God," I mean that of the Bible.

Even so, I consider my objection based on lack of personally convincing evidence to be proof that if there is a deity, it is either not a loving one or a loving one that is not all-powerful. It's an argument against the Abrahamic God.

When I say, "supernatural," I suppose I'm referring to ghosts, spirits, or any kind of non-corporeal consciousness that we've heard of through legend. For example, I could conceive that you could construct convincing evidence that the djinn of Islam exist. I don't know what it would be though.

The jinns "of Islam" do exist, that is an undeniable fact. Muslims call them jinns but they are known by many other names such as "ghosts", "spirits", "devils", even "gods". It just depends upon which civilization is defining it.
