So since the subject of evidence was brought up. I'll simply ask what evidence of God's existence would you atheists accept as proof of God? Something short of God actually appearing to you as proof. Something that you wouldn't deny. Like what would you accept that proves God's existence?

Seemingly the question rests upon several key points:

1) If proof of a (g)od is what is desired, the proves must necessarily be in character with that particular deity.

2) If proof of God is being sought, seemingly support for claims made by that same being should be in order:

An example might be, if said being wished a personal relationship with humanity what might prevent Him from entering into such a relationship? Any strong evidence pointing to that relationship might then suffice for proof of its existence, provided it is not negated by simultaneous strong evidence pointing away from it.

Alternately, if said being claimed to be all-knowing, any text quoting His discussions with humanity might be expected to be devoid of emotions such as surprise, anger, frustration, disappointment, rage, threats, and/or a change of mind/heart.

Further, if God might make a claim to be all-powerful, evidence to the contrary likely should be refuted with sufficient clarity.

Finally, if such a being might make a claim to be all just and all loving, either such terms might be expected to be clearly explained to hold a different meaning to God than those understood by humanity in general or any evidence to the contrary in His recorded history might be expected to be countermanded by later clarifications from this same entity. For might not anything less be misunderstood as being less than just?
