How would you describe your philosophy of life-your personal commitments, set of guiding principles, or deepest beliefs? Ive never answered this question before, and I dont know where to start. Can somebody help me? Thanks

First, we must be clear that there is a difference between Atheists and Agnositics. Atheists say There is No God. Agnostics say Humans can not know if there is or isn't a God. Big difference and people seem to get those two confused.

Me personally, I'm an Agnostic, and I asked myself the following question and had a difficult time answering it, which is why I pose it to you all now.

Let's assume for a second that there is a God or Gods who created the Universe.

What would it take for him/them to convice you that they are a God?

At what point would you say, OK, I was wrong. I now believe in God?

I mean, even if such a God came before you and performed a bunch of magic tricks, couldn't you stil think to yourself, "well, this may just be some alien from some highly advanced civilization who can do all this stuff, but not a God."

How could God convice you that he is God?

Wouldn't you always assume that he is an alien of some sort or it's all just a trick??

I was walking down a corridor with a few other people. When we got to the end of it, a man who looked like a commander was giving us a speech. He was saying something about "go in there and do your best. we've only got one shot". Suddenly, me and two others developed wings, and we looked like angels. Everyone else got different powers. We walked to the end of the next corridor, and I was the second one in line, right behind the leader. While we stood there, the commander was the only one in the doorway, looking intensely at the path ahead of him. Suddenly, we heard rumbling, and the ground shook. The commander yelled "CHARGE!", and all the soldiers ran in the doorway wildly. Myself, instead, flew to the top of the wall and was looking at something that looked like a maze. Creatures of many powers ran into each other and fought. I looked to the right, and realized the other people with wings were at my side, awaiting my next move. The commander looked at me and nodded, and I looked ahead and spread my wings. I flew on atop all of the drama, and headed for the big door that looked heavily guarded. I flew daringly past all of the guards who were throwing ropes at me. When I got outside, I flew as high as I could, but it was hard, I felt weighed down. An alarm sounded, and I finally saw my troops, caught and tied up by the other side. I looked with dismay, and realized the other winged people were caught too. I tried my best to stay in the air, and all the creatures on the ground looked up at me. All the attention was on me. I heard the enemy saying "Get the flier!". I flew for my life..I was the only free one. I ducked and dodged ropes left and right. I came close the the ground and flew up high. I looked for the commander and thought, maybe he's still in the building. I flew into the doorway, where I finally got caught and was taken down. They put a rope around my neck, like a leash. I looked with shame to my fellow soldiers, and all of us were taken to another place. I tried to fly away, but I wasn't strong enough. When we got to this cramped room, I took off my robe and unrolled my wings, took care for them and hung them up. They looked so beautiful. One of the enemies smiled at me and treated me as if he liked me. Whenever the enemy tried to beat me for being so rambunctious, he stopped them. I thought he was going to rape me instead, but I woke up before anything else could happen.

One of these things can actually hurt you and lower your respect for human life. The other thing is beautiful.

Saint Tulsidas of mideaval India has said :
'By reading high-fy religious books or by doing "this thing" and
"that thing" one does not become a real religious scholar.
But the one who understands this 2.5 letter (yes 2 and a half letter) word becomes a scholar beyond comparison'.

Which is this 2.5 letter word ?
And why ?

Adi Shankaracharya did "Khandan Mandan" (defeating every other religious authorities of his time including Hindu and Buddist scholars in arguments, debates and verbal challenges of knowlege) and was victorious in his tasks. He established 4 to 5 Mathas (Big Monastories) in 4 corners (and center) of the ancient India. Some even say he even drew Buddhism out of India but this is debatable though.

But he has completely lost the spiritual game (see today).
What is the reason ?
1. "Khandan Mandan" is not a good way to promote spirituality
It is too aggressive and not in harmony with the spirit of any religion itself
2. His philosophy was not supported by traditional ancient Indian philosophies - (Whose rightness stands even today despite Adi Shankara and others !!!). Thus his philosophy itself is with faults !
3. He had no compassion or consideration and respect for other faiths like for example Buddhism
4. Othre reason(s) - Please elaborate

What do you think ?
