Name one thing or event that would cause you to reconsider the existence of god(s)?
When I look around, I see suffering and happiness occurring at the same rate as chance regardless of one's faith. Interesting that the world behaves precisely as one would expect if gods never existed.

The first person to produce a single tiny little piece of verifiable evidence for any god will become world famous and mega rich!
Academia states that in the absence of any sort of evidence of the existence of something it must be deemed not to exist until verifiable evidence is found - thus god is held not to exist pending some sort of verifiable evidence.
The bible is what is called "Faction” A fictional story set in a factual time and place. Thus the time, place and real historical characters are all correct but the fictional characters and stories are not!

That is true but there is no rule saying that a God has to care about or do anything for humans. It would be just like all the other planets that exist that we are not even aware of and may never become aware of. Honestly, there isn't anything that would make me reconsider since I already understand why the concept is impossible. Even discovering a higher intelligence would have to be from advanced aliens and not impossible Gods.

Without God, you would not even be able to ask the question, since without God, you would not even exist.

Most people choose to live independently from God, which is why there is so much evil and suffering in the world. The Bible explains it all. This current life is not perfect and was not promised to be. This life is a test. We have free will and we are choosing who we want to obey. Jesus told his followers that we will have trouble in this world, but to take heart because he has overcome the world. There is an appointed time when a final end will be brought to all the evil and injustice of this life and it is coming soon. The terrible times of these last days were prophesied in the Bible almost 2000 years ago.

Seeing a God stand before me without any doubt. To be honest I don't understand why they don't make more personal appearances, it's not like they are busy intervening in the world's problems which they created. If people want to praise them for a sunset, they should criticize them for a hurricane.

When I look around, I see millions of intelligent people who know God and live in daily relationship and communication with Him. Surely you are not one of those mindless individuals you say "they are all imagining exactly the same thing"?

Being born with the knowledge of a god existing and what it wants from me. No indoctrination necessary.
