I had to bite the bullet

I told myself I am not debating against religion and putting down religion; so, this thread isn't about that.

Atheists who are asking for God's appearence/evidence, What are you expecting to see if He* shows up?

What is your definition of God; and, if you met Him, what characteristics would exist to let you know He is God?

Also, what does God mean to you? (just in case Aries shows up but you are looking for Jesus)

*He is for convinence not a specific religion's deity.

I'd ask God to somehow prove he/she is not an illusion/delusion of my subconscious mind. I've no idea how God would go about that, but I'd assume a God would know.

Would God be a person to you to show this or something else?

Don't know. Problem is I've investigated a few different beliefs. I've seen a few things. I've seen a burning bush. I've seen stars dancing on the lawn. I hear celestial music if I focus on it as well as the light of God. I've touched Sunyata and lost my self. I've memories of past lives.

I'm as certain that I have experienced these things as you would be certain of any experience you have had that you accept as reality.

The only point is that I think it'd be pretty hard to impress me at this point. I've nothing against there being a God but God would have to show me something I haven't already seen.

I really believe that people experience God as a reality. A lot of what I've experienced, I could see people believing in God because of it.

My question is whether the source of such experiences are internal or external. Just not sure how to prove they aren't some trick the subconscious mind plays on the conscious mind.
