One Question for Atheists

I completely understand that the reason why you do not believe in a God is because there is a lack of empirical evidence.

What kind of evidence, however, do you want? What are you looking for? What kind of proof do you need? What kind of evidence would be required for you to turn and believe in a God?

I have been trying to come up with something that, if existed, would prove the existence of God. No matter what I come up with, it seems to me that it could just be whisked away and labeled as something else anyway. Perhaps there could be an enormous guiding hand in the sky that could shape the world and constantly echo, "I am God and I am real. Believe in me for I can lift this dog and turn it into a cat."

If I saw an undeniable miracle.

I don't think god could ever be proven even if he existed. I just don't agree with religion.

If I saw an undeniable miracle.

Why, should you even admire "god" what's so special about that guy? "He created the world" no space did....

I don't believe because religion is not needed, its a primitive way of thinking and living.

The sooner you realise the human race is a huge intelligent parasite the sooner you can start enjoying your life and rid of the stench.

If I saw an undeniable miracle.

Like what?

Then perhaps you can post your evidneces for God here regardless if you think they will be whisked away. However hopefully it's not of the type "Well look at the universe. Someone MUST HAVE created it."

its more like...why believe in a imaginary being to explain mysteries?...400 years ago the earth was the center of the universe. and to disagree was punished by jail or death. just because we cant explain origins or beginnings doesnt mean that a spirit being created things for no good reason...to me god doesnt make rational sense and seems to me to be human fantasy...i dont need or look for proof

When he beats Contra co op with me. No konami code. AAllxxjjnn

I can't think of a miracle, either.

If everyone on the planet was suddenly cured of cancer, people would just say they developed a natural immunity.

Perhaps if every dead person on the planet suddenly resurrected - oh - those would be zombies.

Who says I want evidence ? I am quite content with my godless existence.

I believe that, according to Christianity anyway, the idea of time is a human feature and does not exist in the spiritual world, meaning that God was never created because he simply always was.

I'm seeing quite a few people neglecting the question.

God him/or herself to speak to me (I don't truly have to see God, but it would help). When I was lucid (not asleep), and give some account of my life (proving he's/she's been watching). Then, and only then will I believe in God.btaylor2404

That is interesting.

Assuming God did speak to you, your primary issue would be determining whether it was actually God or just you being insane. Another issue would be attempting to convince other people that God spoke to you, because their first inclination would be that you have mental issues instead.

I don't think a God can ever be proven to the human species.

Who created Space then? He forgave our sins, and gave us eternal life. He tells you to do good things to others. I think atheist's are just people who have been damaged and blame God for it.

I want him to show himself to me.

I'm still researching on how Virgin Mary got pregnant!oh_boss

Cheating on Joseph, perhaps.

I would need my own first person account of his / her existence.

Wouldn't any miracle be dismissed as a hoax?

We are looking for any type of evidence at all.

Evidence that would get me to believe in a god would proof he actually exists or evidence/reasoning that is better than current scientific theories.

I think a coherent definition of "god" is required before I could give an answer to that question.

I'd believe in him/her/it if god came down to earth and grew a pair of limbs on someone without legs, just in a matter of seconds.
