Do I look that cheap?

Uh no, if I got $150 Nike's, I'd be blessing myself and my feet. God doesn't buy my shoes or pay my rent.
And I for one am offended by the idea you seem to have that all atheists are materialistic - that we would need something valuable and material in order to believe. That question shed a lot of light on you as a person, you know.

Ancient Greek proverb: "The gods give men what they want to punish them." Reading this I now understand that the christian god is actually Santa Claus, how unfortunate for you folks. For me such an offer would be a curse not a Gift. The Divine Father/Mother I make contact with disciplines me to give me strength and helps me to gain in wisdom. so tell your Santa Claus god I said, "Thank you very much, but I would rather go bare foot."

I think your grammar needs a bit of adjustment:
A*t*heist*s*, if God blessed you with a new pair of $150 NIKE's, would you believe in (Her)?
Yes, I would believe in the Greek goddess of triumph then.

Hell, no. If He thinks He can buy me with material things, He can think some more.
Ir's true that He gave me a gift of insight that I might comfort the afflicted and guide the lost. But just 'cuz I work for the guy don't mean I gotta believe in Him. Ask any of the Old Testament prophets. They never trusted God as far as they could throw Him.

Do they still have the tag on them? Maybe I can return them and purchace a pair of work boots. I cannot imagine paying $150 for a pair of sneakers.
I re-cycle and pre-cycle. Almost all of my shoes were used before I bought/received them.

No God of justice would allow a company to sell a pair of shoes for $150 that was made for pennies by child slaves in Asia, nor just give them away in a slap in the face of those poor children.

Sure. Nike shoes is the #1 dream in life of any intelligent person.

What, named after the Greek Goddess of victory?
Wouldn't there be something just a tad inconsistent there?
Or would He be trying to tell me something?
If it was incontrovertibly from God, it wouldn't have to run to150 dollars. If the source was unclear, it could just have been The Lady, however much it was.

I care not for overpriced shoes. Shoes are important to have, sure, but I would be tempted to laugh more at someone with $150 shoes over someone with cheap ones.

Are you saying if a pair of Nike just appeared in front of me? No I would not; he has to appear in front of everyone. As I said "appearing" in front of random people is not going to convince me at all.
