If God sent an angel to tell you that if you travel to a certain place on the oppisite side of the world to get Him an expensive double bacon cheese burger and return back and put it in X location;
In return God promises to take to immediately take you to heaven;no more earthly existence,no death,no judgement,just straight to Heaven.
Would you act on faith and do it?

Wow, your God really needs to get on a thread mill if he's too lazy to get his own cheeseburger.....

I reccon atheists are simply non-believers (or difficult believers), which implies that if an angel did come over (and had his paper work in order to convince me of his authenticity), I would not react on the faith of what other people promote, but on the fact that there now is something out there. I'll do it.
I will also ask this angel to appear to a lot more people (with the paper work of course) because there are millions of people out there that need to see and understand something, before they devote their lives to it.
In actual fact mr/mrs Angel should bring all his friends and I will bring my friends and then we can lay this whole game rest - then we will have a better understanding of the purpose of our lives.

As i replaced into in no way indoctrinated at a youthful age, I approached the Bible with an open suggestions, and judged it on it incredibly is own reward and the data somewhat than immediately believing it. i got here upon it to be crammed with contradictions, lacking in consistent ethical practise, and intensely just about with out genuine information. This prevented me from having the 1st form of religion, the place i think the Bible is factually genuine. In turn, understanding how incorrect the Bible is prevented me from believing the claims it makes related to miracles, prayer, souls, and the supernatural, in different words, i've got not got any "self assurance in issues unseen", the 2d form of religion. mixed, having no concept interior the supernatural or self assurance interior the Bible makes it very confusing for me have faith in Jesus Christ as a Lord or Savior, the 0.33 form of religion. Sorry Christianity, 3 strikes, you're out!

If i had a direct experience like that,it might not be considered faith.The problem is,how do i know it's god and not some advanced alien race messing with me.A cheeseburger seems like too irrelevant a task to be given by a god.At least in that scenario,logic/reasoning would tell me to be highly skeptical.

This angel has wings?
(They don't specificaly in the bible... it's a visual error made by many illustators and painters over centuries)
If no wings what proof of authorityt? Does it flip a badge or warrant card?
I'd spend at least some time hunting for the hidden cameras.

Will it not be cheaper and faster for the heavenly messenger to get the double bacon cheese burger directly?

No way! Does God not appreciate that I'm a vegetarian!?! How insensitive is this God fellow anyway, heaven; I bet. Probably a Motel6 out on Hwy84, I'm not falling for that one again!

As an atheist, I would not believe that it was god or an angel. How would god prove he exists to me when he has spectacularly failed to do so for the benefit of millions of faithful followers for thousands of years?

no. i don't wanna leave earth. when i die i will be reborn in order to continue my purpose. i would get myself a double bacon cheese burger though. if he gave me a different reward i would. and it really wouldn't require faith. and if he did it while intoxicated i would dismiss it as a hallucination.
