Just wondering- for those who want 'proof'?

have you ever asked yourself honestly what you would do

if you were ever offered undeniable proof of God's existence?

proof that you could no longer ignore?

what would you do if you didn't have to wonder anymore?

have you ever thought about it?

I was just wondering-

and could you please try and answer respectfully- it's just an honest question:)

Update:

thanks for responding but remember-

I'm asking what you would do IF you discovered evidence

would it change you?

how do you think you would respond if God presented Himself to you?

Update 2:

(just for the record- I am not doing thumbs up or down)

thank you everyone for your respectful, honest responses

    Do I want proof? That'd be another good question...

    Is there already proof all around me? Still not the question you asked ;)

    Your question is IF there was, how would it change me?

    Well I think it would bring forth so many Questions about our existence! And we may or may not like the answers... some people probably wouldn't, that's for sure.

    I'd be a little shocked, and I must admit I would feel sort of robbed of my freedom of belief/religion... because there would be no more need to believe since we would Know.

    I'd become a theist! That would be the biggest scientific discovery yet and would change everything and be incredibly exciting. I would be less excited and more terrified if it turned out to be the Abrahamic one because he is portrayed as being so violent and immoral in the bible.

    It would depend entirely on which god it was and what he required of me. I am sure I would change but if it was Krishna I would have to become a vegetarian and chant a lot and if it was Yahweh I would have to stop teaching and feel guilty about everything etc etc I feel sure that if there is a god tho, he/she/it would not have these specifications - they seem too man made.

    I would become a theist. I'm already unsure, and I know that with only a bit of proof I would lift up my heart to God.

    They would simply deny that whatever-it-was was proper proof. Even to insisting that what they once claimed would be enough proof, no longer was.

    There are a great many people that enjoy sticking their head in the sand and declaring it night time. That manner of handling things has never changed any truth at all. But then, they were never looking for truth. Only something to agree with their own wishes.

    Look how 2 Peter 3:5-6 refers to this historical fact. "For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6 and by those [means] the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water. "

    "For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice," concerning where the Flood waters came from and that it truly happened.

    Believe, of course.

    "When the facts change I change my mind. What do you do, sir?" John Maynard Keynes.

    But then for many years of my adult life I was a believer and thought I did have good grounds for my belief, before my studies in the bible, its history and that of the Christian church revealed that things were not as I had literally been led to believe.

    It was then a matter of applying the principle of the Keynes quotation, and changing my mind about whether Christianity was true.

    If god presented himself to me I would talk to him about how he feels about Christianity and why he let's so many people go astray. But if all he wants is for me to be Christian then I would convert. I'm assuming you mean the god of Christianity.

    Then I would believe that a god existed. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it was the god of any particular current religion unless it said so, but I would believe that a god existed.

    I'm sure you've been taught the lie that even if atheists had undeniable proof we wouldn't believe because our personal faults are so severe, but the truth is most of us don't believe simply because we haven't seen any evidence that would make us think it was true.

    I would accept any proof that is verified with legitimate evidence. I'll always go where the evidence leeds.

    I've never thought about it because I've never come across a single religious argument that came even *remotely* close to convincing me. It would be fascinating, though.

    Try me. No hypotheticals. Show me some honest, tangible evidence that a 'god' exists.
