One that punishes evil people or one that forbears evil people and will have mercy upon them.
Or how about one that doesn't punish all evil people but rather punishes only super evil people.
A Buddhist obviously will believe in the more compassionate one is greater. A Muslim will obviously believe the punishing one is greater.
But I'd like to see views of people whom don't have a religion and don't have a belief in God to start with.
Deciding which god would be greater requires belief in a god - what a stupid question. But then, you are a deist, so no surprises there.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
