Answer 1

I would revoke my atheism and believe in God.
This is the beautiful thing about a scientific mindset, we are open to any and all evidence and theories can be changed and edited at any time in the face of new irrefutable evidence.
I think I speak for many atheists in saying this. I do not have unshakable faith that there is no God, show me the evidence and I will believe.
Of course this is a hypothetical and I would demand HUGE amounts of proof, but like any good scientific theory, it is open to criticism and possible overturning.

Answer 2

I would recount the same reasons that I do when asked why don't you believe in god. A quick overview of those reasons:

1. If god exists then he made me with an intelligent mind that doesn't accept statements or assertions without proof or evidence; therefor I expect him to have left evidence supporting him.
2. There is no evidence for any of the major events in the Bible.
3. There is a great deal of evidence for evolution as opposed to creation or ID.
4. If god used or worked through evolution, then the creation story is incorrect, misleading and/or a lie.
5. If you read the Bible objectively like any other book you will see a number of contradictions both from a realistic viewpoint and a theological viewpoint.
6. Given that god is all knowing, he certainly could have created a "free will" system that didn't result in terrible punishments for his dearly loved creation i.e. he could have made the choice between belief and non-belief without good and evil.
7. Why say that he wanted to save the world, but then blatantly ignore the majority of it.
These are most of the primary reasons but the list could be expanded by a great deal.

Answer 3

I'm no longer going to handle the validity of the elemental query however I will take exception to the implication within the center of your query that atheists don't seem to be moral. You are performing like atheists are unethical men and women, cheating men and women, vengeful men and women, stingy and egocentric men and women. For certain, a few atheists are this manner, probably even plenty, however to indicate that that is the character of all atheists is effortlessly downright fallacious and bigoted. Religion isn't the one supply of goodness. Almost all religions declare the monopoly on advantage however all of the religions that do this are utterly deceptive. A individual is usually a very sincere and hardworking and sufferer and beneficiant individual with out believing in a god/or God.

Answer 4

If God tangibly appeared to me, I would have to change my belief system. I would tell him I didn't believe in him because he hadn't felt the need to prove himself to the human race up until then. I would also ask him why that was, and why he felt that letting people be deceived into disbelief through his inaction was ok, especially considering that the results were everlasting torture.

God either doesn't exist, or chooses not to show Himself or clarify his will, which results in millions of humans being tortured for ever. He is nonexistent or eternally cruel.

Answer 5

I would have to say that I beleived he existed in the fabric of the universe and that there was real justice to be had if you lived your life right.

But I would go on to say that I didn't follow the doctrine of any organized religion, mostly because more wars have been fought in the name of God than for any other reason and I didn't beleive that any real God would want anything to do with that.

Answer 6

I would say that I hadn't believed in him because I hadn't seen any evidence of his existence.

Having been given such obvious proof of his existence, I would then believe in him. Believe might not be the right word; if God's standing in front of me, I'm going to "believe" in him as much as I "believe" in the kitchen table.

I sure would have a lot of questions for him, i.e. why do you let bad things happen, and why do you conceal your existence?

Answer 7

I would say because I tried so hard, hoping that you didn't exist, with all the suffering, the hellfire, the genocide, the divine wrath, the floods, the plagues, and the dying in the first place, that I wouldn't meet someone who was perfect, loving, and all-powerful, and yet for someone reason caused or allowed all that crap to occur.

Answer 8

I'd tell it the truth, that at the time there was no concrete evidence to prove that it existed. However, if "god" were to reveal itself to the world as a whole, I doubt very highly that it would be anything like what any religion describes it as.

Answer 9

This isn't so hard. If I ever met god, was convinced that I was not hallucinating, I would immediately believe. As for why I didn't believe until then, same as always; lack of evidence.

Answer 10

Hypothetically, if i did meet him, I would be stricken blind. Now that right there is something I don't like the thought of. Why Strike me blind? Because he doesn't care about us. Thus, if I were to meet him I would ask him why create something for the sake of creating it. Man is God's biggest boast. He made us just to do it, just to have something subjected to worshiping him. Ask yourself this, if you had the powers of God, would you create something just for the sake of having it thanking you? God is an egotistical, self centered narcissist in a fairy book tale of right and wrong.
