If I knew A god was real, I would believe, but that doesn't mean it would be the Christian god.

No I would not, because you did not specify what "God" is real. Also, lets say it IS the Christian God...I would believe in Him, but I wouldn't believe that the Bible is an accurate recount of world events, until proved otherwise. Also, I pretty much follow the "moral" teachings found in the Bible, more so than most Christan's do...and I do it only because the morals in the Bible are worthy to me, not the little history book part, but as a moral guideline, it's cool, but I just don't think I'll be rewarded for good behavior...all in my opinion....

If I knew god was real, I would need evidence that the Bible out of hundreds of other writings was his. Face it, the Bible has a ton of problems with it, and If I were god, I'd want a massive rewrite or sue it for slander.

If God were real, that still doesn't mean the Bible would be legitimate. There are plenty of other holy texts claiming to be true. I'd be a theist if I didn't know which one was right. In the event that it was the Christian god, I wouldn't worship him because he's evil.

If the God of the Bible was real- I would hate him and follow Satan based upon the death toll between the two alone. The other bits of tyranny and atrocities that god committed wouldn't even need be discussed or considered...

If God was real, and it was the Christian god, then still no. Some of the Bible's teachings are quite definitely incorrect. Also which Bible?

I'd need to see that Christ was real (which I do) the Holy Spirit is (skeptical) and so was the Bible actually was the divine word of God (Very much doubt).

No.
Even if I knew for an absolute fact that God existed, I wouldn't grovel in worship of Him.
I already try to live a good life. I help out my fellow man. I try to make the world a better place than when I found it.
If God is so insecure that simply living a good life is insufficient for Him to accept me - that He needs me to acquiesce to His will, then screw Him. That doesn't sound like a "loving" deity to me.

If there was feasible proof.....I suppose that would in a way prove the words of the bible more literally than metaphorically, therefore making it foolish NOT to follow it.
But this whole proof thing is a big stretch.

Which of the thousands of gods?
The bible is a collection of stories related by bronze age goat-herders. It is no more the word of god than Playboy magazine. I most certainly would not follow it because it is cruel and perverted.
