Belief is unnecessary.
Things are proven true. You can hold a question, hypothesis, or suspicion as tentatively false until the weight of the evidence convinces you otherwise. If there are such things as "gods" they should be obvious. Upon examining such obvious evidence, "WTF!!!" would be my first remark. The second would be questioning if I was experiencing a hallucination. After sufficient amount examination, I would acknowledge their existence. This does not mean worshiping or making any changes to my behavior or moral code. I would never worship anyone, and making changes to my behavior requires a sound reason.

FIRE - 14/08/1968
1 week at #1 - 14 weeks on chart
I am the god of hell fire, and I bring you
Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
I'll see you burn
You fought hard and you saved and earned
But all of it's going to burn
And your mind, your tiny mind
You know you've really been so blind
Now 's your time, burn your mind
You're falling far too far behind
Oh no, oh no, oh no, you're gonna burn
Fire, to destroy all you've done
Fire, to end all you've become
I'll feel you burn
You've been living like a little girl
In the middle of your little world
And your mind, your tiny mind
You know you've really been so blind
Now 's your time, burn your mind
You're falling far too far behind
OOhhh
Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
You're gonna burn, you're gonna burn
You're gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
Fire, I'll take you to bed
There's nothing attributing such a thing like walking through fire in undies to be the work of "God" though, that's the whole point of the problem.
Saying it's God's work is all very well and good, but PROVING it is what the issue is. Saying the name of God could be completely coincidental and have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with why he didn't turn into a crispy critter.
You say God, someone else says Flying Spaghetti Monster, and another person says it's the work of the Invisible Pink Unicorn.
Sounds like a fairly average stage magician.
Would you think someone was a god if they could saw a person in half and then put the two halves together again. Magically?
Do you have a link to this event?
What were the exact conditions?
Who saw it?
How do we know the guy didn't just invent the story?
And, once we get beyond that we're back to the problem that Daecon highlighted: how would you demonstrate it was actually "god" that protected him and not some other "agency"?
i always thought that we got cheated in the miracle game. the old timers got healings by Jesus, the parting of the Red Sea, the great flood, Sodom and Gomorah, etc., etc.. all we get is the image of Mary on a pancake. we was robbed. i sure would re-think my atheist ways if i saw an Old Testament style miracle or sign. (in my Jerry Lundegaard voice) you betcha.

Jesus did many miracles, and some still did not believe.
This thread is non-scientific and essentially the same as the other one, where the question was answered ad nauseum.
Closed.
