Poll: Is there any aspect/type of god you as an atheist would be happy to discover existed? This poll is closed.
The biblical god in all his tyrannical, OT bad-assedness.	6.67%	1	6.67%
Just the loving hippy of the NT.	0%	0	0%
One that is concerned with human conduct and hands out eternal bliss or torture in a life-exit interview.	6.67%	1	6.67%
One that listens to 'prayers' or reads your mind and chooses life events with your development in mind; the 'world' for this sort of god is a kind of theater with no independent or necessary existence.	0%	0	0%
An all-powerful one that created everything from nothing just the way it is on purpose but has covered his tracks to make natural causes more plausible.	6.67%	1	6.67%
Not all-powerful, one possessed of some creative powers but not limitless, creating some forms but all from pre-existing substrata, not from 'nothing'.	26.67%	4	26.67%
One that is drastically older (approaching eternality?) and has seen it all but relates to you-as-consciousness as a kind of benevolent big brother and values your companionship without judgements or need for your worship.	53.33%	8	53.33%

I think I could be a generally content neo-platonist following Plotinus. Im not all that hung up on NT reliability etc but slowly I'm finding its historicity more and more plausible. Reading a lot of Robert Price lately. Very amusing and witty fellow and he makes some interesting points but not yet enough to turn me the other way.
