Pop in front of you and say *Hey I am GOD* I can dis-appear re-appear in a mater of seconds? This is the kind of proof ytou want??? What kind of GOD is that? since you dis-believe the GOD of the Holy Bible and in the heck would you know him if he did appear right in front of you?
Seems like you are looking for some magic power or some picture you have in your head that GOD should look like>
So again what kind of proof are you looking for that GOD exsists the one that clearly identifies him in the Holy Scriptures?

I'm just asking for the same amount of evidence the disciples, Moses, Adam, and Eve got.

All I want is a God who is not a self-contradictory concept. A being who is omniscient, who can also provide people with choice that is genuinely free and NOT predetermined, is, BY DEFINITION, something that cannot exist in any ontological or epistemological sense. He can't even be thought of adequately. How can I believe in something I can't even think of? It would be like imagining empty space or uneventful time--it just has no MEANING. What does the word "GOD" MEAN? I find many different, even diametrically opposed, definitions of God in the scriptures; but even when looking at a single one no one achieves a clear picture of what He IS. THAT'S BECAUSE THE CONCEPT OF GOD IS INHERENTLY SELF-CONTRADICTORY!!!!!
What proof do I want? Just some attempt at an explanation of all these logically fallacious premises (omnipotence, omniscience, free will) that have always gone totally unexplained. I guess that's asking too much of God...

Well, that's a good point actually. Even if a miracle happened, I still wouldn't know WHICH supernatural force existed. Yup, at that point there are still many options open apart from believing in YHWH. And that's one of the things I really don't get about religion, actually. How can you be sure (not just thinking it, but being absolutely positive) that the voice you hear is god, and that you're not just imagining it OR talking to Cthulhu/Satan/etc.?

Take me back in time to these supposed biblical times no better yet show me how he created everything and take me through the key times i.e. slavery, selling of daughters, stoning to death and question his judgment and calls on how or why he handle them the way he did.
Believers say their deities can do all sorts of things, barging and boasting about their creator doing such splendid things. When we need those kinds of miracles mentioned where are the miracles or the deity in questioning. If you guys cut back the exaggerations and telling people those things are true there wouldn't be need of proof.

If God or a godlike entity were to pop in front of me I would demand an thorough investigation by several teams of researchers to verify its claim. Then, If quantifiable evidence was amassed to the affirmative I'd still have plenty of questions for it.

It's believers like you who make these fantastic claims about the abilities of god. What I expect is evidence that these claims are true.
Since believers claim that god can alter physical laws at will, I need evidence that god can actually alter physical laws at will. Anything short of that makes me think your claims are false.
Evidence required is commensurate with the claim. If the claim is huge, huge evidence is required. Crying excuses just shows you don't have the goods.

Heck, the Israelites in Exodus experienced the parting of the Red Sea and the plagues, yet they started losing faith in God after they stopped seeing his miracles for 30+ days. Humans, I tell you.

Actually, there is some proof I would like.
I'd like him to make me whole. I'd like him to change something about my very being that has left me feeling as though a critical part of me was torn away before I was even born.
Not all that hard for a deific being to do, but hrm... it's never been done.
Ah well.

Oh, wait, your deity specifically?
Why don't we just start with the worry of if there is a deity or not, then we can worry about which one.

Okay. Let's make it easier. God should appear before me, and then take me through all the key events in the bible. Criss Angel can't do that.

Not just to me or you, that's like me trying to convince everyone that a talking pink elephant exist and I am the only one who can see him.
I want god to appear to the entire world as proof that he exist.
HE HAS TO APPEAR TO EVERYONE ON A GLOBAL SCALE. He is all-powerful right? So it should not be a problem

Let it take me back in time to see how accurately those human beings who wrote the books of the bible got it. A little time travel should be easy for an omnipotent, omniscient being. However, I'm not holding my breath.
