Ok then.
If a God appeared before the world, say as a giant head 10x larger than the moon floating in the sky, and announced "Hello World! I'm God, I created the universe and you." Or as an individual that actually stopped the sun, or parted an ocean and walked across or waved his hand causing all the animals to have speech or anything as grand as that, then it would not be a matter of 'belief' in this God, but a fact. Belief would be irrevelent.
This, of course, only after a through investigation to rule out a holographic projection on the clouds or any other such magic tricks .
Also I would have to interact with this being. Someone posting this God appearance in the clouds or a video of him parting an ocean on YouTube, or offering up a photo would not do it for me. If that does it for some folks then look at my avatar. That's a photo of me, God, creating the universe (prove that it is not) and proof of my divinity.
I want to be a first hand witness to any of these events and I want interaction. I want to be able to ask questions of this entity to rule out physical beings from another planet using an accepted earthly myth to further whatever their agenda may be. Or to rule out a slick magic trick.
It is then and only then would I accept as a fact the existance of a supernatural creator God.

I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
