Very serious question. Please explain what kind of proof do you want about Gods existence. What would make you believe? Please be specific.

It's not that I'm looking for proof. It's that I haven't seen any.
Why does this bother believers so much? That's what I want to know. Why can you understand not believing in god? I haven't fully believed in god since I was 5. Doubt set in really early. Like the stories seemed so far fetched and incomplete. Sensationism. Noah's flood started it. Adam and Eve made no sense to me.
Evolution made complete sense. So, I guess Science just was way more logical and not so absolute. It's open to revision.
Religion is to rigid, judgmental, etc.
Also, I don't see the need for anything but a nice place to get married.
I have most of the moral beliefs however. They were taught to me as a child. And, I see the value in respecting others. The golden rule is one good thing from the bible.

Produce God for all to see and have him do something that no amount of science can explain and have him do it while doing all those things he is said to have done in ancient times.No sort of's.No half baked attempts.No, "well look around's".Produce him in the flesh and have him show everyone his magic in all it's 'glory' so that no one can doubt ever again.
But since that will never happen- ever, then I guess people of faith are the ones left with the burden of proof they will never be able to produce.And something should be said for that.I know what I am saying.And it is that perhaps the proof lies in a psychological problem that believers suffer from known as a delusion.

If God would talk to me. Or make me some stone tablets while i warmed myself by a burning bush.
Any type of proof beyond a "reasonable doubt" would suffice for me.Perhaps it would help if he could explain some of the false history and timelines contained in the bible which is known as "THE TRUTH"
If he is a supreme being surely he could find some small way to convince me.

He could write across the face of the moon, in really, really big letters...
"I am God, and I wrote this, and the bible is all true, and now I'm going to make the moon disappears for 1 hour.."... [moon suddenly disappears for exactly 1 hour and then reappears]
That would be a start. Of course, it could be just aliens playing tricks, but it would be some serious evidence and I'd take another look at that Jewish/Roman book full of mythology.

If prayers were always answered, that would be proof. If God didn't want to answer a particular prayer, He should tell the one praying why He wasn't going to answer it.
If all evil was removed from the world, that would be proof. If God is all-powerful, all-good, and all-knowing, He wouldn't allow natural evils, like hurricanes, or man-made evils, like murder, to exist.
If God would hold a press conference and would appear and allow Himself to be photographed and interviewed, that would be good proof.

Something more than just....believe or you will go to hell...
Seriously though.....there is nothing to say that there is somebody with a greater power....if I say I want to see god, the rebuttal would be....you can't see air, but you know it exists....but air is tangible, there is scientific evidence on the structure of air...the components of air.....where is the proof within this mighty being? It's all pure imagination and faith.....I need more than that to succumb.

Okay, let's try a gigantic god face in the sky that very specifically predicts the exact lottery numbers for a specific lottery on a specific date.
Okay, I know you'll say that would be rewarding my greed. Okay, I know a guy whose leg was amputated. I'll pray to your god, and the leg will grow back while I watch. No medical devices, no prior treatments, just me, your god, and my one-legged buddy.
Should be easy!

i have proof that my god and goddess exist because i have known their work. i can tell you about it, but i can't prove it outside of my own experience. if you have known the work of your god, you're free to worship him. everybody has a different experience, nobody has irrefutable proof.
this goes for the militant atheists just as much as it does for the proselytizers. somebody should put the two of you in a room and lock the door.

For all those saying I will believe if I saw God or saw God do something like a miracle, sign, etc. then I would believe. You do realize God is doing you a favor by not doing this. If you faced the living God in your sins, you will die. No man in their sins can face God and live. Only those who have their sins forgiven and paid for can face the living God, and Jesus is the only way we can have that done for us. God bless.

Any kind of proof would work. But it has to be proof, not just the ramblings of some crackpot right-wing theorist.
