How about a signed photograph of God?
Easy,
All the world religions need is to get Valentino Rossi to sit down autographing photos for an afternnon and insert them into relevant holy books.
Holybook + signed photo of god = Believing kadzbiz

Sorry, sometimes people are sarcastic, my error.
So would your request prove a book is from God, or that He exists?

Absolutely no reason to apologise Amin. Sarcasm definitely resided within my text, but to answer your question, hmmm, I think a book that had unique never before seen text that would change automatically so it could be read be any living person would be worthy of God. Let it be bound by organic material that has not been around on Earth for at least 10,000 years and have a burnt image of God's face on the inside cover. That should about do it. Oh wait, seeing how some church would probably hide it away for nobody to see, I'd add that every time it was hidden away, it would duplicate itself and project the new copy of itself to a completely different place in the world for someone else to possess it and share it. For God, easy.

WWooowww that was quite a request,
For, in accordance with the purpose of the examinations and trials that man
is to undergo, the way must be shown to him without depriving him of his
free will: the door of the INTELLIGENCE must remain open, and its freedom
MUST NOT be snatched from its hand. But if miracles had occurred in SO
APPARENT a way, intelligence would of had no choice; Charles Manson or
Hitler would have believed and behaved like mother Teresa, or the companions
of the prophets, Coal would have had the value of Diamonds, and no
purpose would have remained for testing and accountability.:shout

I have heard of many people die of malnutrition, but I haven't heard of any that have died because of a lack of spiritual sustenance.
God speaks about the balance in creation, He created us that our material
and spiritual life is balanced, if we are totally material we wouldn't know what good
or bad is, as the athiests admit, and if we were totally spiritual we wouldn't
be concerned about other humans, one would be concerned about oneself
only, whats pleasing to God is a middle path we enjoy whats been created for
us which is lawful and utilise the bounty's of God, to show them to a path which
grants people happiness in BOTH this life as well as the next.

:sarcastic

Most atheists I know are not spiritual at all. According to your story that would make most atheists totally material, and so we wouldn't know what good or bad is. I heard atheists say that there is no good or bad and I heard atheists say that they have a different version of good and bad, but never have I heard an atheist say that he or she does not know what bad and good is :shrug:

Could be that I misunderstood though..

Is it outside the realm of possibility for such being done by technology in the future? Especially with an interface that interprets directly to the brain.

Would make for a more peace existence though.

I thought of that as I wrote it and that's why I added the extra bits. :)

Okay, do you believe theres such thing as Good and Evil?
Since Good and Evil is defined in the revelation of God.

but never have I heard an atheist say that he or she does not know what bad and good is :shrug:
I have.

How old were they? Even the legal system has made the assumption that persons over 13 know the difference between right and wrong, unless of course there is an intellectual issue.
Ill prove it to you there not kids, look out for my next thread,

Only different perspectives..
Based upon my own experiences I have to agree.

People tend to label things they have great dislike for as evil and things they really like as good.

I have not found, nor have I been shown any absolute good or evil outside fantasy, mythology and the ultimate combination of the two, religion.

I feel the need to add an example to this, because it is a good point.

For example, most people view Hitler as an evil person. But there were good points about Hitler, too, which are often overshadowed by his other deeds. For example, Hitler helped direct the construction of the Autobahn, which gave tens of thousands of Germans jobs during the Depression. Currently, the german Autobahn is considered one of the world's best highway systems.
