If you had visible proof that there was a God, would you convert over to christianity? Why or why not?

Sure. Why not?

No, if I had physical proof of a God then I might convert to a religion that would be more compatible with me. It wouldn't be Christianity though. It would have to be some pretty impressive proof and not some kind of illusion type thing that an illusionist might be responsible for. I don't believe in God not just because I can't see God there is much more to it.

If there was actual, solid proof that there was a god, AND there was a heaven and hell, AND I would go to one or the other when I died, AND conditions in heaven and hell were actually how the religions describe them, AND my worship of that god determined which one I would go to, then I would join whatever church that god said was the one to be in.
But it would have to be proof that I accept, not just something written in the bible or other religious book. Also, I would wonder why an all-powerful god needed our praise and pleading. To me, it seems similar to humans requiring praise and adoration from pet fish in an aquarium. Think about it - If you can create an entire universe in only 7 days, why do you need a bunch of puny humans telling you what a swell guy you are? And why create so many of them? It must get pretty noisy after awhile...

If I saw physical proof of a God, I would not convert to christianity. I would simply believe in God from then on, and address his existance in whatever way I felt appropriate. I don't think christianity, with its rules and regulations, is the "path to god".

It would depend on the proof that the god was the god of Christianity. If the proof said that the God was Zeus, I'd be doing a lot of research on how to honor the Greek Pantheon really quick, 'cause if Zeus was real, I'd be darned sure I wasn't making Hera mad.
But there is no more proof for Yahweh than there is for Zeus or Hera or Baal or Allah or Brahma or Nirvana, soooo... no worries.

Hypothetically yes I suppose.
If I did have proof of his existance it still does'nt mean Christianity is the way to follow this God though,
Maybe all religions with a Godhead follow the same thing and it is this God that allows us diversity.
If there is such a thing I would imagine him to be pretty open-minded about how we express our faith.

If god proved himself? I doubt even christians would believe it at first. But hypothetically yes I suppose I would.
If there is no proof would you convert to atheism?

See basically no one on this planet can say with concrete proof that God is there or not, people have different faiths and religious beliefs.
Scientist have found possibilities of alternate Universes leading to a strong possibility & resons to believe that Multiple Universes Exist.
Therfore their may be possibilities that more than one creator may exist.So how can you say that the God we /if that is we ever see is the father of Christ.

If there was sufficient proof that the Christian god was real, of course. Only a fool would reject that which is verifiable. The whole point is, no such proof exists.

I would convert to Deism, but I really doubt that the Christian god could truly exist.
I think the core beliefs of christianity are (and I'm sorry if this is offensive) utterly insane. Here's why... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6XlmVZG7sk

I would like to know why you are assuming belief in God automatically means Christianity. A person can believe in God and NOT be a Christian.
