I'd like to ask my fellow atheists if they would be happy to learn there was a god.

This god:

If there is a god, I've already become somewhat familiar with much of the rest of reality, including the effect of any interaction he may have with it. His attributes would be what they are.

I would be neither happy nor unhappy with any specific attribute, much as I would be neither happy nor unhappy with the size of the anus on a newly discovered specie of beetles.

I'm not sure how I'd feel until it actually happened. 

Probably remain skeptical me until the very end.

Little Jimmy is sitting by an ant hill, crushing the ants one by one with his thumb. Father Murphy comes along and see him in action.

"Why are you killing God's creatures, my son?"

"Because they're worthless."

"Really? I challenge you, name three things on the world that actually worthless!"

"Balls on a priest, tits on a nun, and these fuckin' ants."

A god would be number four.

IMO, only possible god would be very different from one we anthropomorphize, so I don't agree with any of those options.

Think about it. Would a timeless, eternal god even consider life as important for its creation? it's easy to put ourselves in the centerpiece because we and life on Earth is all we know. A lot of what can be imagined beyond our Earth would be negligible for a god. Such a god, IMO, would probably only concern itself with more interesting aspects of its creation, like seeing events unfold which it would not be able to predict the outcome for (would it even have omni-attributes?) like black holes or, quantum "foaming", but this already partially anthropomorphizes a god and its possible attributes, like human emotions of boredom, excitement, etc. Maybe it would never become bored because it just stared at the internal fusion of a M-class star for a few millions years before going onto staring at particle/virtual particle pairs forming on the edge of a black hole's event horizon.

This assumes a lot of the attributes and abilities of a creator god.

Not unless I were an old testament literalist. We look to Jesus when trying to imagine how God is like. His examples, His teachings... dying for us, etc.

So just ignore the awful stuff and say "well that was the OT so.... or" well don't take it literally " . As for jesus he's not much better . And no being willing to go through a long weekend of pain to pay for a stupid rule is hardly an example . And nothing he taught was unique . I could think of a hundred mere humans who were more impressive and of greater good then Jesus . And they didn't do there good via magic god powers .And they didn't get brought back to life they stayed dead .

Gods don't impress me . Men do . The Universe does . But not gods . Even if a god made universe I would regard it as an insult to the universe . Even if a God created men then I say it's an insult to men . A universe forge by physics that's impressive .A universe forge by magic is just boring .

I wouldn't say the only possible god, although it seems the least improbable god would share nothing with the inflated monkey god conceived out of longings of the monkey parts of our brain that are the dieties of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, nor the uninflated monkey gods of other polytheistic religions.

In all seriousness, if there was a God I'd be happy if they got me laid to a hot woman.

P.S. This post is a cringe post.

One Sunday afternoon, a priest leaves his church after morning services and sees a little boy standing outside with a box of new born kittens.

He walks over to the bay and says, "They're very cute kittens."

"Yes", replies the boy.

"And what religion are they?" asks the priest.

"They're Christians," replies the little boy.

Happy, the priest bids the boy farewell and heads home.

A week later he leaves his church again and the boy is back there, still with his box of kittens.

"And how are the Christian kittens, today?", asked the priest?

"They're atheists," the boy replies.

Taken aback, the priest looks at the boy and says, "But last week they were Christian."

"Yes', replies the boy, "But now their eyes are open."

I'd be happy to learn #7 existed. I believe what is being described there is not technically a god though. Sounds like an intelligence that evolved, just like us. It's just MUCH older and reached a state where it isn't distinguishable from a god. I think it's very likely there are a multitude of such beings in the universe but as to whether or not they would see any value in the lives of creatures at our stage of evolution - well that's another matter.
