What specific evidence would people require to believe in God's existence?

Why do you feel it is necessary or good for God to hide in the shadows and require "faith" in believing all sorts of extraordinary unbelievable stuff without "ironclad" evidence? Sounds like a great way to have a lot of confused, conflicting and disparate religious ideologies ... oh wait that is just what we have.

Did Adam and Eve have *ironclad* proof of God's existence.. Yes... No?Did they have free-will and choice?

OK how about Judas?

It is telling that you rambled on (regurgitating a prior sermon perhaps) without addressing the point at all. Were you perhaps responding to someone else's pointGod is a worker. Ok, great. What does that have to do with the point on why would God reward blind belief? or consider it good that we should believe things without any evidence. Perhaps God rewards honest reasoning and punishes foolish faith.And just who is being flamboyant and asking "Let God show himself! so that we don't go out looking."?????This is a straw man.A fool will believe anything, but a sensible person considers his steps. ” Proverbs 14:15.Why is it not wise to look for evidence and use reasoning (considering your steps) so as not to fall into a trap being lured by selfish promises of everlasting life?

I was not aware that personal insults are a feature of Christian beliefs. You are still going to have to break it down further because you are still not making sense.Your implied presumption is that those who state that unfounded and unevidenced beliefs are bunk (aka blind faith) are lazy. While the opposite is true. Many Christians have spent very little time understanding their own "holy book", what are the difficult parts and how did it come in existence, etc, because they have been overly seduced with promises of everlasting life or supernatural intervention in their lives. Most conversions are leap-of-faith style that requires no work, just overworked emotions. Where are you getting this notion that I, or anyone else here is complaining about the "efforts needed to gain an accurate knowledge of God"? I am stating the unfounded and unevidenced beliefs lead to superstition, fractured and flawed philosophies and are not to valued. Are you talking about Talmudists, Buddhist or Mormons?Edited by iceage, : typos
