Assuming your Truth is Jesus, yes, all of us will know when we see Him face to face and that, my friend, is the day I am looking forward to.

One could very well argue that His greatness is such that our puny senses could not comprehend his existence, even if He were standing right before us. But those Empiricists have their ways about them, don't they?
I am a firm believer that people see what they choose to see. Some see an event and consider it divine influence. Others will see it and think it is a coincidence. An Athiest that sees Him may well think he has been drugged, or any other possible explanation to maintain his or her system of beliefs. On the other hand, if evidence is ever given to prove the non-existence of a God, I'm sure many Christians would believe it to be a hoax, or flawed.

Yes. Atheists tend to be smart people, because they've had to actually decide they were atheists and then defend their decision.
I notice you capitalized "Truth" and used the pronoun "Him" instead of "it," so I have to ask:
Would you know Hashem if you were staring at Hashem face to face?
Would you know Osiris if you were straring at him face to face?
How about Loki? Shiva? Diana.. when staring at HER? Aescapulus (sp?)? The list goes on and on.
The fact is: your religious truth is not THE TRUTH for all. I am not an Atheist, and I *do* reconize that Truth.... do you?

Think about your name: What is truth?
This question is a really deep one.
What is truth?
Truth is only relative, as are many things.
What is truth?
Truth is the outcome when you judge right and wrong. It really only exists in a world of black and white. Truth does not apply to a world where there is liminality- a grey area.
What is truth, then?
Truth would be what you are willing to accept. White is just a light grey and black a dark one. Think of the Yin-Yang. Within each half is a little of the other.
What is truth?
Answer that before you ask your question.

if an atheist was staring at God or Jesus in the face they'd know the truth, atheists know their is a God but refuse to believe we could be created all of the world by on creature somone so powerful by someone you cant see. believing isnt seeing how do u know their isnt a God just like how do kids belive in santa cluas or the tooth fairy from books and their faith they believe. they have hope. Their is proof of God in the Bible, He told the people what to write he gave the 10 conmandments. he is why we live today. athiests are none belivers and go to hell sadly

When an Atheist realizes truth, it does not stare at him/her in the face, the atheist realizes he IS truth.

Would a Christian the "Truth" if it were staring at him in the face? What is truth? Who knows what is true and what is not? Faith is one thing, faith does not equal truth, faith means believe in something there is no proof of. So I guess an athiest WOULD know the truth, if HE/SHE was staring at him, because then it would be true, and there would be proof.

So- to the theist asking the question. is Truth to you, that god created the earth 6,000 years ago- 2,500 years after the babylonians figured out how to brew beer?
Is the truth to you- that Noah gathered all 30 million non-swimming land animals onto his ark?
Just who's the rational one here?

Probably. Atheists have critical thinking skills. Christians are not so lucky. Everyone one of them knows "The Truth", but they disagree about it. Funny, isn't it?

An atheist does not believe that God exists. Seeing God (if that's who you're talking about), an atheist would then believe that God exists. At this point, however, nobody has done so and provided any proof of it, so whether the existence of God is "the Truth" has not been established.
