Cant even get that far... the bible is not evidence of a god.. we need to first find evidence of a god..

You almost certainly did; they were just too intimidated by attitudes like "Sinners Burn In Hell" to discuss it with anyone.

Until our white bearded white fella shows up in front of me telling me he is the all mighty entity, the deity, the creator of everything and uses his or her finger to lift a building, I won`t give a fuck about any scientific proof.

... and not through using heroic doses of psychedelics either of course... duh

Because quote frankly people have been horse shitting bullshit for too long and with marvelous results.

Worshiping that homocidal maniac is like chosing to date a pyschopath.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

That is a horrible comparison. I'd love to date a psychopath, but I'd never worship a homicidal maniac.

Acknowledge he exists? Of course, if he were scientifically proven to I'd have to accept that.

Worship him? I think not. If the bible is accurate to his nature he is not worthy of my praise and devotion. I know evil when I see it, and if that bloke were real he would be evil and ego incarnate.

It'd have to be some pretty serious evidence...

But, assuming all of my expectations are met, the answer is no.
Two reasons:
1) I'd still be skeptical.
2) The Yahweh I've read about is kind of a douche, and I make it a point not to worhsip anyone, especially douches.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I would for selfish reasons, because I'd want to go to heaven. It's a stupid question though because it implies that somehow Yahweh can or is even likely to be proven. I think if Yahweh was real, we'd know about it by now in the form of him telling us directly that he is real.

One of the things that really shook me was immediately after I deconverted I found the talks and articles of Christopher hitchens, the one that got me is his article on heaven as a celestial north Korea. The more I thought about it the more I knew he was right as usual.
