Wouldn't an omniscient being already know this?

I might be able to believe there was something to this God character if there were a consistent and coherent universal understanding of the nature of "God." As it is, even nominally-related theologies (Christians and Muslims, for instance) are at complete loggerheads. And then there's this whole Catholic/Protestant schism, and even splits within Protestant doctrine.

It seems that if there were an all-powerful being that wished us to have comphrension of him, that he would try to keep his message simple and consistent.

After that, it might take a few true miracles. Not this "83 people survived a jet crash" miracle you hear about on the news every once in a while, but the big stuff, like the Old School God used to do. You know, parting the Red Sea, that sort of thing.

However, it'd take either exceptional documentation of one miracle, or fair documentation of multiple, unrelated miracles.

At that point, I might be able to take God a little more seriously.

Appearing before an extemely large audience, with cameras rolling from multiple angles, doing things that clearly 'break' physics. Making hand gestures and having the entire sky change colors at a whim, causing clouds to weave themselves into high-definition images/words/numbers, causing mountains to raise/lower, plainly citing what is going to happen at various intervals in the future wih virtually no error on his part and demonstrating the ability to ressurrect the dead.

It would take significantly less evidence to demonstrate special Creationism to me. Consistent measurements showing that the Earth is just a few thousand years old, consistent findings of modern land animals in geological strata they don't belong in (the Cambrian period, for example) and consistent genetic evidence that falsifies common ancestry.

Of course, it's pretty clear by now that none of the above will ever come to fruition, isn't it?

As far as convincing me goes: There would have to be a great deal of evidence within the universe that could in no way be interpreted so that a god hypotheses could be discarded and maintain a workable explanation and there would have to be some direct evidence of that god. Of course, at that point it wouldn't be belief, it would be knowledge.

You haven't been reading your Bible, Mr. Wolf, or you'd know that your question is irrelevant.  A cursory reading of 2nd Thessalonians clearly states that persons such as ourselves are victims of a "strong delusion" sent by God Himself; any "signs" and "wonders" that cause us to believe in God would actually be causing us to recognize Anti-Christ as God while a person of true prayerful discernment would see through these deceptions because his faith is a pure faith and the glory of Creation and the maintenance of God's Word in the form of the Bible is all he needs to seal that faith.  So even if the stars tore themselves out of place and rearranged themselves to state that God loved humanity and truly desired to save it from itself, a Christian would be obliged to ignore that message and decry it, given that the Bible does not state that such a thing will happen.

But then if you're not speaking from a purely apocalyptic Christian perspective, perhaps just from a Deistic one, well, that God's not going to make Himself known anyway, as a Deistic God is defined as a prime mover and little else (maybe a designer and knob twiddler as well, but not an interested one).  I suppose that there's a wide interim in between the intensely personal God(s) of the world's scriptures and the God of Paine and his friends, but you're going to have to give us a precise definition, here.  And if you have your own religion that doesn't follow Christianity or Judaism or any other established faith right down the line, then why should we listen to you?  I'm at least going to go for a popular God if I do go for one.

I don't know how many of the folks here would agree with me on this one, but I'll flatly state that my attitude toward a prime mover is actually purely agnostic.  I don't know enough, despite not inconsequential study, about the beginning of the universe to absolutely state that a prime mover is necessary or not.  My atheism only comes in when talking about the various ideas of God held by human cultures, and that's because every single one of those conceptions of God are inextractably bound together with predictions about the nature of the universe that science rejects.  

I disagree on the basis of the fact that, without some form of special pleading, you can't state the above without also then implying that agnosticism is the appropriate stance on any unfalsifiable claim.

Why is it up to us to come up with what evidence it would take? Do your own damn homework. Define your "God" coherently, present the evidence you have to support that notion and then we'll see if it holds up to scrutiny. Why is that so hard for you theists?

I personally would require irrefutable evidence. I can't even begin to imagine what form this evidence would be presented in though. After all, it is hard to supply "physical evidence" for something that so clearly does not adhere to the laws of physics. Some sort of Divine Message would be acceptable as well. Although, truthfully, I would probably attribute it to some sort of enviromantally induced hallucination.

If someone could prove that the chrisitian god existed I would hope to err god? that satan existed as the abrahamic god is pure evil beyond all redemption and just maybe satan who flaws seem to being 'human' might be able to take him/she/it on.

I'm not.

Well, not unless you're open to the idea of cybernetic ninja-trolls living in secret bases beneath the Earth's crust.

You've discovered my secret base!

Oooo, you are in for some good old-fashioned cybernetic ninja-troll ass-stomping, my friend.

All you would have to do is brainwash me.

Your parents brainwashed you and it worked.

After I was brainwashed,  I could believed without evidence, and think it was wrong to question that irrational belief.

However, I would not be as human - everything that I was, and everything that I could have been,  would be diminished by the delusion of religion.
