Poll: Is there any aspect/type of god you as an atheist would be happy to discover existed?

The biblical god in all his tyrannical, OT bad-assedness.

Just the loving hippy of the NT.

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.

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

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.

Well, that's a bullshit lie if your posting history is any indication, but the part about you finding it plausible is just asinine. So you're both a liar and a jackass. Good job, now you can put two things on your resume.

There is no version of any god anywhere that is acceptable given the state of the world as it is. If a god is too impotent or uncaring to rescue people from intolerable torment or correct adherents about its desires for us, that is an unworthy god no matter what other characteristics they possess. Of course as a rational skeptic I'd still question whether the answer is correct if it's not demonstrated in a way that is scientific but yes, I'd want to know for certain if only to get all the theists in the world to finally shut the fuck up about their stupid bullshit and not be able to get away with all their crap in the name of their phony-baloney gods once they are slapped in the face with the reality that no matter how diverse their beliefs are, they were still dead fucking wrong.
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?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
