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%

We're not fighting; this is our foreplay Wink

Choosing to do good for others, doing for them what they want done to you, selflessness, etc, are all representations of love, and they are independent of having strong feelings.

That was a hint that we shouldn't hijack his thread.

So... I have thoughts but will keep them to myself.

For now.
