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

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.

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.

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.

Not all-powerful, one possessed of some creative powers but not limitless, creating some forms but all from pre-existing substrata, not from 'nothing'.

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.

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.
