Actually that's a very good point. The OP asks whether we'd accept (and worship) the hypothetical scenario of there being the god of the bible. However, Rev and others make that assertion all the time, that the character exists in reality, so the OP and the poll are clearly a confidence trick, using sleight of hand to palm the card of atheists' denial of evidence in the absence of any presented at all. Again.
Or to put it another way: in the hypothetical scenario, how are we to know that this god exists? We've all been assuming a direct face-to-face dialogue.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
