1) Ask for a test ...
...3) Do not doubt. Keep your own words few and remain grounded in the knowledge that God will pull you through.
4) Leave room for God to operate. Trying to solve the problem yourself will not end well. Leave room for God.
5) Pray each moment that God fights your battle. Surrender to the process and allow God to show you the end as better than the beginning.

I propose a test to all of you who don't believe you can breathe under water. 1) Stick your head under water. 2) Inhale deeply. The results may surprise you!
----------------------
In all seriousness, your test - at least to us who don't believe - is as rediculous as the test stated above. Seriously.edit on 11-5-2013 by LobeDethFaurt because: double negative

Interesting post Enoch. I realized a long time ago that I will never force anyone to believe in God. And I wouldn't want to anyway as what is the point of that? There would have never been any reason for Jesus to die for us. Their true heart won't be in it. It's like forcing someone to believe that brussel sprouts are delicious. There are so many aspects of religion and I, as most ATS users, don't believe in religion - I'm against religion, it is man made. I am a Christian. My entire being revolves around Him. I respect other people's beliefs. We can be an example of Jesus in how we behave and speak. I find your post interesting because if someone is an athiest but is really genuinely curious to see if God exists then I do believe that God will reveal Himself to that person. I don't know that God will show up just for the sake of a test - because the question must be pure in that person's heart. I am not disputing where you are coming from. Not at all. I am intrigued. But I do find it interesting. And I do know where you are coming from within your being.

So let me get this straight, you want us to practice self-deception and extreme superstition until something clicks? No thanks, that's what made me find religion to be idiotic in the first place.

God's word clearly says we cannot test him.
