No, I'd check myself into a mental institution. I'd be nuts if I believed that donkeys (or bushes) talked.

John, I think your question would be better if you asked if Athiests would be convinced if they had a suprnatural experience where there was no doubt that God was communicating with them. Remember, Athiests don't believe in God. The Bible would be the second step.
I am a Diest. I believe in God/Intellegent Design, not in Religion, the Bible and I am not a Christian.
If God appeared to me and I was certain it was him and not a parlor trick, and he told me the Bible was true and that Jehovah's Witnesses were true, I would race back to the Kingdom Hall, get reinstated and become a full time minister.
No doubt. I don't care if he said that Baptist, Catholics were true or that I should be a Jedi Knight. I would do it.
Which brings up a good question. Why doesn't God appear to us today on a regular basis? Why does he make all this a mystery that divides everyone? Don't say "Read the Bible", I've done that.
He didn't tell the guys in the Bible to read the Bible. In fact the Bible trips over itself in Hebrew Chap 11. Vs1 describes the faith we are supposed to have and uses the words "hope", unseen". Chap 11 goes on in Vs 2 to describe men and women of faith, "By faith Abraham, Noah etc.
The funny thing is God appeared to and talked to these guys and they all saw supernatural stuff that we don't see today. It's easy to have faith if you see God part the Red Sea or raise the dead or if he talks to you, via an angel or whatever.
I think that the reason we don't see all that stuff is that none of it ever happened. There is no proof the Bible is inspired of God and that Jesus ever lived. Unless a talking donkey tells me otherwise, I think it's the height of unreasonableness to believ in things you cannot possibly know or prove.

I'd probably have to consider the possibility if no other reasonable explanations were available. Do you have a talking donkey?

Only if it was "Balaam's Talking Donkey" that spoke!
Actually, "Talking Donkeys" (Jackasses!) speak to Me EVERY day, unfortunately.

If a donkey spoke to me, I'd believe in talking donkeys.
And stop doing coke.

Nah. I'll be convinced when a donkey that doesn't talk speaks to me.

donkey: - a stupid, stupid, or obstinate guy or woman. so in donkey kong .. donkey is particularly the adj used to describe kong, to no longer mean that it is the mix of two diverse species Kong, from King Kong blended with being stupid/stupid and obstinate grew to become into precisely what we've been given with Donkey Kong ... thats why mario continuously beats him

In person, right? Not like dubbed-over Mr. Ed or something.
Depended on what he said I guess. If he said glass clouds color trees yellow with tar and soap to like January in summer...well, I wouldn't but it. If he told me the Powerball lottery numbers, and they worked, I'd at least consider Biblical Truth.

No, I've seen Shrek and I still don't believe in the bible.
I would think all that reading might teach you how to spell. What is an athiest?
