If God exists and he (or she) revealed themselves, would people who believe in God actually accept God as God?

Answer:
This is actually a much more interesting question than the other answerers seem to be interpreting it as.
Many people have a particular idea of who God is. When they try to imagine God, likely an image like this pops into their head:
But the thing is that all the images that we conjure up in our minds and in our art about what God looks like are all just our own interpretations of whatever he might be. They are products of the human mind and human sensibility. I very much doubt that God, if he existed, would look like anything that we conceive of him as being.

So what would happen if this grand puppet master of the universe suddenly dropped the veil and revealed himself?
Would people accept this being as God, given that he looks nothing like how people often dream and conceive him to be?
I don’t know. Given people’s proclivity towards holding onto their strong beliefs about the world come what may, and people’s conceptions of the appearance of God are often very close to their hearts, I have quite a bit of pessimism about it. My guess is that there would be quite a bit of war and strife about it, unless God just changed people’s minds and implanted his own visage in people’s minds instead of what they had beforehand.
