What would it take to make you a Christian? (non-theists)

The point was raised in HM Rob's thread, in a strange manner that didn't work so well. So here's a direct question for the atheists of Secular Sevens; what would it take for you to become a Christian?

  • God would have to appear. In which case I would accept my sentence to hell willingly, and would wonder why he claimed to be "omnipotent", when there's so many inconsistencies and stuff.

    • He appeared when he did. This goes back to my issue with the "I can't see it so it isn't true" pseudo-rationality. That's not a good argument for anything. The truth is not always visible. There is quite a bit of the human experience that cannot be explained by the senses. About hell, there seems to be quite a bit of misunderstanding by almost everyone about the notion of hell. Fire and brimstone, Satan torturing folks, etc. All imagery taken from ancient European pantheism or used allegorically in the Bible. What is clear, however, is that hell is not a place that gives itself over to a person willingly going there. It will be worse than all the terrible things on Earth put together. Saying that you would willingly accept it is posturing at best, baffling ignorance at worst.

      • You misunderstand. OP asked me what I needed to believe in God. This is my opinion. It cannot be wrong or right. You cannot tell me what I need to believe in something. All I'm saying is that I am at peace with my decisions. Why is this so wrong to you?
