As an atheist, what would it take to convince you of God? Think about your answer more before you just say “evidence”. What specific evidence could be only attributed to God that would convince you of God?
First, I would have to have a conception of this god. I am without the idea of god. The word ‘god’ is to me a semantically null sound, with no meaning. Many other humans use it to describe some mental state they are in that I cannot comprehend. I am never in that mental state.
Maybe.
I have come to suspect that the believers’ notion of ‘god’ is equivalent to some of the feelings I get from certain aspects of reality. The first example that springs to mind is music. A really good song puts me into a hypnotic daze, and I could easily see some people thinking it’s coming from something outside of themselves. Of course, the MUSIC is, but the feeling isn’t.
