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%

(August 29, 2017 at 9:05 pm)AFTT47 Wrote: 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.

That sounds a lot like the Ego the Living Planet character from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. "Little g", he humbly claimed when they said he sounded like a god. I still wouldn't care for that kind of thing. Something incapable of meeting us halfway and understanding us and knowing what a dick it can be because of that, there's just no getting around that.

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.
