For me it would take a loss of curiosity of the world around me and a lobotomy.

The de-deification of western culture (including the sciences) is our task for the next 100 years.

I posted this on BEattitude:
It would take the total dissolution of ALL religious groups, fundamentalists, right-wing extremists, fascists, demagogues, life time imprisonment for Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, and the bringing to justice all the real 911 culprits and the Wall Street, Federal Reserve, and corporate criminals. Also turn every human into a vegetarian and to comply with Bernard Shaw's (I think it was him) theory of the second giant leap, the first being the industrial revolution and the second when humans no longer contrive to survive. Then I may believe in God. Robken

If god wants to end all religious wars and trigger instant mass belief, all he has to do is cause a burning cross, crescent or wheel (or all three for *real* peace) to appear on the wall of the UN main chamber during a session.

Oh, there will be arguments and accusation of trickery, of course, but a lot of people will be convinced.

A small local suspension of physics like that should be a piece a' piss to a deity. He's done much more overt stuff according to his books. Why so coy?

First of all: I don't believe. Just the same as I don't believe in Gravity or my shoes. They're there. The're understable and we can measure them.

You can argue that gods could be beyond our understanding and that we can't limit ourselves to mundane and material world. I can say the same about invisible untouchable gnomes living under our beds. Why don't believe in invisible untouchable gnomes living under our beds?

Firstly, using the Bible against an atheist who has just posted about why the Bible is not the truth; not a good idea. I agree with you that by the Bible's standards, I am probably a very bad person, but I don't believe these standards apply anywhere in reality.

Secondly, you assert "The Bible is 100% correct" when I clearly isn't. The first book of the Bible explains a creation story that didn't take place, and we have the evidence to prove it! This fact alone (ignoring all the other mistakes the Bible has made) is enough to disprove the "100% correct" claim.

Thirdly, I do not doubt there is a creator; I just doubt the creator is an intelligent being. Why do such beings not need creators themselves? You are saying that intelligent life needs an intelligent creator, but that the intelligent creator doesn't need one. Doesn't make a shred of sense.

I have seen the ten commandments and must say they suck as a guide for life. I know few that call themselves christian that follow them as you think they do. You seem to be a little deluded as to the accuracy of the bible. I would bet you have never read the bible in full and only know what is in it based on what others tell you. Your so called evidence can be applied to the many thousands of god that have been created by mankind. If you look into your beliefs you will find that what you claim you believe is the same means others use to claim is the evidence for the gods or goddess.
