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

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.

The last answer was the closest to my thinking, so I took it. I suppose if there was a cosmic Big Bro it would be nice, but as they say, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, so I would have trust issues. Just as I believe all conceivable heavens would eventually become their own hell, I believe that all omnipotent gods eventually become troublesome cosmic assholes.
