I'll be happy to talk to him like civilized beings, but I'm not bowing down to anyone. The idea that giving evidence of his existence would take away your choice to worship him is simply wrong.Theoretically, it would provoke a lot of people, because, if God doesn't sends to "hell" anyone, you can ignore Him like a garbage can, which would "remove" his Gods status. It would cause a lot of head ache to independent people.
Sure, well if "God" did turn up, I wouldn't expect for a second it would be one of the ludicrous characters in popular books, so it would probably remove forever the worry about hell. I'm sure it would be mightily amused, or perhaps insulted, by these silly stories. Nor would I expect that it would want or require worship. That probably would be it for a lot of people, without the carrot/stick they'd just walk off. It's a shame more people don't realize that they can simply walk off right now, because the carrot/stick are imaginary.
