Recently, I’ve been thinking as to the criteria that would cause me to accept the existence of an intelligent god that interacted with humans.
So here’s my challenge to God: start answering prayers. More specifically, start answering the prayers of sick people. If everybody1 with some sort of disease, who prays to God to be healed, is instantaneously healed of that disease (without medical intervention, of course), I would take this as pretty conclusive proof that there is some sort of really powerful, if not omnipotent, God (if not some other powerful intelligence watching us).
The ball is in your court, God.
- I don’t just want one or two “miracle” cures, everybody has to be cured. If an omnipotent God existed, surely they would have the power to do this. ↩

Mitch you just can’t ask god to answer you. That’s like talking to a guy trapped on the ship in the bottle. It’s just insane!

God doesn’t need to answer you!!1!1!!! He’s too high and… Sorry, I just had to say the most common religious response.

That’s alright, though I think if there is a god, and this god is letting people die of easily preventable diseases, then they’re a bastard. I can understand why people would choose to worship a kind and benevolent god, but not a childish/selfish one.
