...for you to believe and suffer all the "I told you so's" that would inevitably come your way?
Reportedly Bill Maher is quoted to have said:
"If Jesus Christ were to appear and descend to the 50 yard line at the super bowl, I would say "huh...look at that...I was wrong'. Until then, I consider the story bullshit"
But for me, such a meager stunt would be insufficient and my criteria would likely be multifaceted and include at least the following:
1) Eliminate all childhood cancers, disease and starvation now and in the future.
2) Heal all amputees and disfigured people in a non-painful manner (as per their desires) but change nothing of the past, keep the record of your previous inaction intact.
I'm sure this has been brought up and enumerated before, and since I started my list without any research I'm curious about what you would require, off the cuff, so to speak?
NG
PS (upon edit)
I ask mainly to to create a list for those theists who might insist on asking what my/our criteria might include.
I in no way expect to ever have the chance to inspect the work of some deity and check off the boxes as completed.
This exercise is entirely hypothetical and academic.

If "god" were as kind and loving and helpful as the songs promise, I'd be really happy about it.
