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?

I'd need to - basically - be shown God and have a conversation with him (Her? It?). I'm an agnostic atheist, so I'm not as arrogant as to believe that we [i]know[/i] there is no God, but I need to be shown irrefutable evidence supporting the existence of a God-like entity before you could find me heading to Sunday Church.

That's a little arrogant, don't you think? If there is a God, what makes you think that you would be capable of comprehending anything other than what He has already shown us? What makes you think you could look upon an eternal being (eternal man; no beginning, no end; unfathomable) and live? Or at least maintain your sanity.

I'm sorry if I came off as arrogant; I said that I'd need to [b][i]basically[/i][/b] talk with God. I wouldn't have to literally speak with God, but I would need to be shown how God could exist in a way that cannot be argued with; for example, I would seriously consider the existence of a God if I was shown proof that there is a Heaven/Hell (perhaps they exist as alternate dimensions?). Even then, I'm not sure if I'd be able to find it within myself to have faith and believe. I certainly can't do that now.
