If I cannot make sense of the hypothetical, I cannot answer how I would respond. In what sense is 'God' the same as 'love'? it clearly isn't in any way that agrees with ordinary language.
In your scenario, I would go for truth over love, facts over fulfillment. If those happens to be a deity, so be it.
Well, obviously if God appeared before you it would be true that He exists lol. I figured that was obvious.
That is too bad you won't answer. Next time someone on here complains that theists (apart from myself) never directly answer their hypotheticals, I'll be sure to mention none of them answer mine. Double standards and all that.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
