I might consider it if a 10 foot tall man with a long white beard suddenly fell from the sky and said "I am God, hear me roar." and then floated back up and disappeared in the sky. Other than that, no, I don't buy it.

As I’ve said in some other threads, there would be many different ways that God could prove her existence to me (and everyone else). I mean, it really would be remarkably easy, even if she wasn’t omnipotent. Seriously, all you have to do is appear to a bunch of people that can do some objective measurements (videotape, etc), then maybe prove why she should be called “God”, and then that’s it. Pretty basic. In fact, the absence of any such evidence…at all…should be ringing alarm bells.

So sure, if there is some new evidence or some thorough arguments that I haven’t previously seen or considered, I’d happily become a Christian…again.

For me to become a Christian I would have to be forced like most of the beginning christians were. Only it would have to be GOD herself saying you must become a Christian. She would have to appear in a verifiable manner. She would have to threaten my life as Chrisitanity does, sayin if you dont' do as I say then you will go to hell. If you do what I say then you will not suffer.

I most likely wouldn't love such a dictator.

But then even such a being showed up, does that make her GOD as we call GOD. IT could just be a more advanced being from another Galaxy coming here to make us her servants and slaves.

Maybe it was our universal older sibling who came down here and split the red sea for moses and gave us a bible so we could learn how to be civilized in times when we didn't have much knowledge.

Maybe they just did it to help us out until we came into greater knowledge.

Okay, everyone...

Now, I know you're very anti-Christianity, and I know you're mocking Christianity by saying these things, but we are talking about the Christian God... and the Christian God is a He. Not a she. If you want to talk about some she-god... there are some other threads. Or, if you want to debate the existance of the Jesus Christ as God on another thread, fine. Go ahead and use "she". Or if you want to put up an argument that the gender reference for the Christian God should be "she" and not "He", then you should start another thread.

So, as a correction, the subject of this thread is the Christian God. And the Christian God is a He, not a "she". Please note that for future reference. Thanks.

I am not at all opposed to becoming a christian. If I were to be presented evidence that christianity was true, along with all the corollary doctrines, then my pursuit of truth would lead me to repent and accept Jesus as my saviour. To date, however, no such evidence has been produced.
