Interesting question. You just may have to in the near
future..... The book of Revelations is a stunning collection,
of future events, and about what is happening right now,
in the world. Now how is that so ? It is not like this book
was written yesterday ? I am challenging all Atheists to
listen to John Hagee, and Jack Van Impe, 2 prophetic
ministers. They will no doubt, blow your mind. Look
them up, when you have a chance. And check your
local listings for the next programs....... Now back to
the question ? Would you believe God if you saw him ?
The rapture could happen tomorrow, you never know.
How would you see the world, if a major Biblical event
took place before your very eyes. Or an angel saved
you from getting hit by a car ? Would you become a
believer then ? Best answer wins. ~~~

Isn't it ironic that even though they don't believe in God, He still believes in them? You have those that say they would believe , if this indeed was the situation, but let's not forget! Even the twelve had seen with their own eyes, and still had reservations, and doubt. I'm not a big fan of either of these ministeries, as the have made some bad call's before, and i realize that we aren't perfect. I am however a Christian. And even our own will someday be surprised to find that they will not find them self's where they thought they would be. Good Luck! God Bless. It would be wonderful if all eyes could see what the Lord has done, and who He is. But that would take spiritual eye's that so many haven't had open. Have a very Merry CHRISTmas, and do remember to pray for our troops!

You call your own question an interesting one? Without knowing the answer? I am sure you can do no hands on your bike as well.
If I would see god and it is a man I would first ask him to explain why he has waited so long. A simple appearance let us say every 25 years would have made everything a lot easier.
If god is a woman I would probably accept.
If I saw her/him, I would know, wouldn't I?
Can you be a bit more specifi about the near future? Before or after this weekend?

I am an atheist and nothing any sort of charismatic evangelist claims could convince me otherwise. But of course I could imagine things that could make me a believer. For example, if a god turned up in person and resurrected a long-dead relative or friend back to life, I'd be very tempted. It would have to be something that is absolutely impossible by the standards of the material, scientific world. Sermons will definitely not do it.

according to your book he should have been back about 1900+ years ago.
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. "Learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all these things, know that he is near, at the gates. Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. (Matthew 24:29-35 NAB)

Not at all...they would claim some sort of temporary psychological disorder forced them into some delusional fantasy state of mass hysteria...
Personally I wouldn't listen to John Hagee or Jack Van Impe...they do the same thing every other radical does...take things out of context and convey false messages based on a single sentence...like the earth is only 6500 years old...and other fables...

I am almost certain that a direct encounter with God would change their minds for a while, however, with no root in the Word....they will spring up and when the time of testing comes, they will wither away.
It would be imperative to get the Word on the inside of the new believer as soon as possible...for the wiles of the devil are cunning.

I suppose I would believe then. As long as that Mind Freak guy or the dude who made the Statue of Liberty dissappear weren't around.
People have been saying the world is gonna end since the beginning of recorded history. I think it's just an excuse to run up your credit card debt.

isn't it funny how 'god' only reveals himself to nutters, those with a vested interest in his actual existence and those who wish to control the populace.
why not appear to someone who actually cares for his or her fellow man? hmm? well?
maybe there IS a god, but he's embarrassed by all the mistakes he made. intelligent design? yeah right. shall i start listing all the flaws now?
more like semi competent designer who got some things ok but others wwwwaaaaaayyyyyyyyy off.
or perhaps there is no god here's a question.... how can an atheist believe in something if they saw it, if it doesn't exist in the first place?

If rapture will really happen, Theists will the ones to blame — if you know what I mean
Of course when God has proven their existence then we'd all believe, but the question is...will they?
Not being hit by a car is simply coincidence.
Oh before I forget...bible is repulsive.

The book of revelations is a book of delirious rants, and millions of Christians in every time period have used it to 'prove' their times were the end times.
And why does my not believing in god(s) even come into question? The fact that you have to ask questions like these (what would it take/if god did X) is an accusation against the existence of your god.
A supernatural omnipotent omnipresent creator would be obvious to ALL its creation. Instead, we have a wild mishmash of disparate religion, each with their own god(s).
