PrOwLeR_: and in a softly spoken, relatively calm voice told you he was GoD hisself ... and No!! GoD does not LooK like Morgan Freeman I think .....
Would YoU believe him or would YoU just shun him off ?? ... and for once I am being serious here . I'll tell you why later ...
He's just liable to get a kick in the nuts from me , the way I feel at the moment , maybe even two as the person would be either drunk , drugged or just plain mad . More than likely all three or a happy combo of any two .
I would be asking for proof , as an atheist i would be very much doubtful. But if he could predict the next 5 minutes ( like in the movie "next" with Nicolas cage predicting what was on the tv channels before he changed to them ) , then i would be one step closer to becoming a believer.

My first thoughts I guess would be is this guy for real,has he some mental issues, anything but entertain that he was God.But most likely I would be polite smile and give him some time and if he was God I recon I would be overwhelming by his presents and be pretty much speachless
If God, is who the Bible interprets Him to be, the creator of everything in existance, sees all, knows all, sees into the future etc etc...........Why would He bother coming up to little ol' me in the street to introduce Himself.
JMO but I'm sure if He is who He is, he's got better things to do.
poor chaps grossly mislead or deluded, to my mind not even the slightest chance of there being a one god or creator, not even the slightest chance, so i'd develop compassion and perhaps say something like "that's interesting"

As someone who was recently asked If I believed and I couldnt answer either way .Its an interesting question . If this man was indeed "god" he would already know my name even if I didnt know him by sight I take it there wouldnt be any burning bushes nearby
Nature123: There is some thing in the bible that says, now this is just from memory.
Many will come forth and proclaim that he is The Lord, But they will be false men,
It is up to you to decide who is The Lord himself.
Very similar stuff is written throughout The Bible and many other religious tracts.
John the Baptist was often asked if he was The Son of God, the Messiah, Jehovah or many other names of the prophesised man. He said constantly (and very roughly) "No, mate, no bloody chance in hell of that. But when he does appear amongst you, you will not recognise Him."
And much of the New Testament (written many centuries after Jesus was born and edited to the Catholic Churches liking) prophesises the return of Jesus (and he will be denounced by all the Thomases) so far down the track from when it was written it is not possible for this modern society to really believe if the whole accurate truth was ever written.
snagsmoore: I would probably say...piss off idiot!!
Snags, I am a bit to polite for that. I am of the belief that the gods have "blessed" many people with 'thoughts of their own.'
Actually come about after so many years of working and realising that there is a lot of independant thought out there with no realisation of what they really are talking about.
Okay, I might be guilty of it (on not so many infrequent of times)
But there are "special people" out there that we do need to look after, a
nd they that may have been "touched" that we should be careful of because who knows what they are capabable of. Glad out gun laws are a bit stricter than other places.

LiLee: I would be very sceptical indeed
If God, is who the Bible interprets Him to be, the creator of everything in existance, sees all, knows all, sees into the future etc etc...........Why would He bother coming up to little ol' me in the street to introduce Himself.
JMO but I'm sure if He is who He is, he's got better things to do.
I would ask LiLee why he would not walk up to lil ole you ?? and what better thing than talking to you could he be doing ...
So again I am fishing here for the moment ... of all the atrocities men and woman have committed over time, serial killers, savage and brutal rapists, people like Idi Amin, we could not say then they were the devil hisself here on earth, just pure evil ???
It seems we remember acts of cruelty a lot more vividly then we recall acts of kindness ...
I met a child late last week dying from a blood cancer of some type .. nearly ten with a death sentence ... He told me as much as he wants to live, he knows he wont, he also told me he is not only in the doctors and nurses care, God told him in a dream that he is also in his care and not to be scared ..
Reading what I have read up there the kid must also have mental issues for believing God has spoken to him, or he is just delusional because their is no God ...
Yeah Merri I was touched and moved by a brave little Angel ... so I figure if a man walks up to me in the street and proclaims to be God hisself, I'll at least pay him the courtesy of allowing him to convey what it is he wants to tell me ...

The medications or a reaction to them can do that.
