So, you are both saying that no matter what, you could and would never believe in God?
No matter what he did, he couldn't prove it to you?
Whoops, I wasn't referring to myself, but rather athiests in general. They can find any reason to disprove what they're seeing as was mentioned earlier (hallucinations, dreaming, was drugged, etc).
Me, personally? I do believe in an almighty creator of all God. If someone were to do some supernatural things and proclaim that they're that God, I wouldn't believe them though. I believe THE God to be on such a higher plane than us that there's no way he'd be able to interact with us on such a small scale such as morphing into a human. God interacting with us would be like us to ants or us to a molecule which just isn't possible.
However, if a being did do supernatural acts and claimed to be God, I would believe in what I'm seeing. I would think of them as a highly intellegent being that is techically advanced. Today, we can currently make people see visions by tweaking with their brain. Who knows what we'll be able to do in the future. Make us float over the Grand Canyon? Use either some interactive holographic room, or a real craft that happens to be translucent, or just flat out use some little device or telepathy, if it exists, that is able to control me into seeing what I'm seeing without me having to sit down in a chair as required for us to cause brain tweak hallucinations today.
I think that's at least as closed-minded as those that DO believe in him, but I guess that's an issue for another thread.
I agree.
