I don't believe in God . That said : Actually , if you accept eyewitness accounts , there are recorded instances where God was seen . In the book of Moses , it says that God appeared to Moses on several occasions , once along with other members of the tribe as well . If I remember correctly , he once appeared as a burning bush . On another occasion God allowed him to see Himself as He walked past and Moses saw his nether regions . We all know how screwed up the Bible is , and we also know the earliest bits (pre Christ) were recorded by the Jewish people , so the Torah , may have a better version . Perhaps someone with a Jewish background could lend some help with this ?

@Cast1es I'm talking about intersubjective verifiability. Even if for the sake of argument the Biblical accounts are historical fact and serve as proof of anything (they do neither, in reality), that someone claims to have literally seen or heard god is inadmissible compared to me claiming I've seen and heard my wife, because lots of people have heard and seen my wife, recognize her photograph (and she can be photographed!!) and her voice and so forth. If I were the only one who had ever seen my wife people would be justified in assuming I'm hallucinating.

So no I don't accept eyewitness accounts (which Bible accounts are not, anyway) unless they are intersubjectively corroborated, or the stakes are low, or both. Since the alleged significance of deities (e.g., your and my eternal destinies) is very high, then the bar to crediting these appearances are correspondingly high, as it becomes consequential to get it right.
