when God comes down to seperate his flocks (believers from non), and you could no longer denie that he is and always was the one true God would you finally change your heart and accept him if he gave you the chance? or would you stubbornly hold on to your old views (whatever they may be) even if you saw the truth before your eyes and felt the fires of hell lapping at your heels?

Well, since my disbelief is based entirely on a lack of evidence and having a god appear right in front of everyone is what we like to call proof I would be forced to change my mind.

Yes, I would suffer in no longer denying that he is and always was the one true God, yes I would accept him but with sadness, knowing there may be others not given that chance, or not understanding it enough to grasp it. TO accept him I would need to know that my children also accept him, I believe if he is truely he, then we are all a part of his plan and he would give me the strength to bring them to see the truth and accept him in the given chance. He is all forgiving, God is all loving and God created us, we are an ignorant people and he has worked had to teach and guide us, yet some of the abilities he gave us, for example the ability to be smart enough to create the atom or h-bomb and allow our minds to utilize these to destroy others he's created, is not what God intended. I believe however life works out, it is as God intended it in the simplest form, but we complicated it all. So, if we are remorseful for those things we do from bad morals or out of ignorance of the end result, then as God expected, we are not perfect as he, nor will we ever be. God wants us to join him with happy hearts and clear souls. A lot of his cleansing of us is done through teaching us making us learn by our mistakes and he encourages us to move on with forgiveness and try not to make the same mistakes again. Yet he gave us just enough awareness to know when we are about to make the same mistake and he gave us the ability to rationalize and react in such a way as to avoid the mistake.

No I wouldn't deny my faith (Pagan) for anyone. I don't believe in a Christian God so I don't believe in the notion of hell. The fact that you only have to say you're sorry and say that you believe in God and you will go to Paradise, even if the crimes you have committed are horrid. Then on the other hand you don't believe in God and you are a good person and you will burn in hell seems a total cop out to me.

When this god you speak of, who is just one of the more successful of the tens of thousands of deities and gods portrayed as the "One True God" or the "Most Powerful God" in history comes down to separate the masses, I'll give him a cookie. Until then, you sound like a fanatical, ignorant, and close-minded fool bent on forcing your insignificant religious beliefs upon others. Good day.

If God came down to earth and I saw him, I would consider that good evidence enough to believe in him. Just because I don't believe doesn't mean I'm stupid.

Well, this old Scotsman once told me he'd seen these unrepentant sinners in a vision, tormented in Hell, screaming to the LORD "Bu' we dinna ken Lord, we dinna ken!" And the LORD looked down from heaven in his infinite mercy and said "WELL YE FOCHIN' KEN THE NOO!!!"

If God sends people who don't believe in him to burn eternally in hell, then God is evil. I won't worship evil. Neither should you.

Matthew 7:21-27
21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.
22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?'
23 Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.'
24 "Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
25 The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.
26 And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand.
27 The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined."
Simply amazing reading, sounds like it's not the non-Christians who need to worry when Jesus returns to earth but the Christians themselves.
There is only one non-Christian religion that also makes an article of faith to believe in Jesus Christ and that is Islam and me being a Muslim and who has spent many many years in Muslim communities, I have not come across a single Muslim who "performs miracles" and "casts out demons" on Jesus' name.
On the other hand...
