RE: What would you do if you found out God existed

Yay, Ceiling Cat!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I don't know about disrespecting your mom or stealing, but thinking someone else is really attractive isn't something I ever considered wrong lol.
Wait! Coveting your neighbor's hot wife is not a sin?!

No one knows the path and anyone pretending to is either a con artist or deluded. If a god has something to say then there should be nothing standing in their way from coming down here and saying it. To do otherwise is to admit to being unworthy of attention of any kind. Or to be nonexistent. Since the latter is more likely, we'll stick with that. Surely that would be more respectful than thinking he's a lazy, cunty prick.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

I would ask him why he allows for suffering all over the world.
I would ask him why he created people with sin if he really is/was responsible for the creation of the earth. Seriously, he could have left out that whole part, saving a shit ton of trouble.
I would ask him why he's been such a fucking asshole to allow my daughter to be separated from me by an abusive, narcissistic piece of shit who should be in jail.
I would ask him why he's taken over 2000 years to finally show up.
I would ask him how, after he's allowed horrible things to happen and he finally shows his face, he expects anyone to trust and just believe that he is indeed this mysterious "god" being.
I would tell him what a low life asshole he is. I would tell him that he has no right to ask anyone to worship him since he allowed terrible things to happen. And I would ask him what a "supreme being" actually needs with money since he can literally conjure up anything he wants to.
And then I would walk away and life my life just as I have been doing, still believing that there is no god.
You just do not understand, not even the what if put before you. I can answer those questions of yours the Bible deals with them and you would know if you cared to read it. Sin answers most of your questions, and God did not create sin Lucifer brought it into existence and man swallowed it hook line and sinker and now we suffer for it. If God were to appear before you you wouldn't be able to say anything, but hey believe as you wish but one day soon enough you will meet Him face to face and you will be speechless.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

...Anyway, that's the idea behind why we ask forgiveness from God, so that's what I was going for when I mentioned feeling remorse on the OP.
I suppose if I really believed my wrong doing had hurt god I would be sorry to him.
You need to understand the oneness of existence.
Everything is God and God is everything but nothing in particular.
If you love the Prophet, you have loved both God and all goodness in creation, and every living part of creation, because of the tree of life model which is the reality, we are connected by fabrics of "value" "giving measurement due" "love", which is really how things are created, just as the uncleanness all emerges from the spirit of Satan, the good in creation all emerge from the chosen ones and chosen guides.
And if you love the Prophet, you love primarily because he is the way to God, and because the way to God is being a mercy creation.
When you see the throne of God and the noble true kingdom and light, you will see that any disregard towards any right, was rebellion to God, and God cares about people more than they care about themselves, that is why Quran emphasizes when we oppress ourselves and do injustice towards our own soul, we remember God and ask forgiveness from him.

In hell you will not be able to see anyone else, hell is described as a place of total darkness, you will be able to hear them in all their agony as they will be able to hear you.

Coveting (feeding envy) is a sin, but thinking another person is attractive isnt. Perhaps some fundies out there think so, but I can't speak for them, only for my own beliefs.

So because god is so lazy and inept, everything is entirely one-sided and we have no way of knowing if he's even there, we just have to suffer enough brain damage to be able to believe in it if we're not indoctrinated as children with only a microscopic proportion of the population actually being indoctrinated to believe in the 'right' version of this. Gotcha. So no god worthy of worship, love or any regard of any sort whatsoever. Boy are your standards low. What does that say about YOU?

All praise to God of all the guidance and insights and proofs he has helped me with and I ask forgiveness for every ungrateful act of disobedience and every lack of will towards embracing his name and submitting to him.
Take a flying fuck through a rolling doughnut, MK. At least CL actually talks to us like human beings.
