Signs from God

Reading a "sign from god" post today reminded me of something.... I used to have a neighbor who was a Baptist pastor (oh yeah, it was fun) and he once asked me what would it take for me to believe in god. I said Jesus would have to appear to me in my living room and perform whatever amazing feats I requested. Not in a dream, not in my bedroom in the dark in the middle of the night when I might be half asleep, not on TV, but in my own living room when I'm alert and awake. He could have a seat on the couch and make my cat talk or something. What would do it for you?

Having Jesus make my cat talk would be no great feat. There are drugs that can do that The only thing that would work for me is if God made clear his/her/its existance and will to the entire world simultaneously. Anything less is back to "God told me to tell you..." which is simply a way to control the masses. Tek
