If there was a loving God, would you accept him?
#5
RE: If there was a loving God, would you accept him?
I would believe in any god that can be demonstrated to exist, loving or not. I'd probably accept a loving god, depending on the traits that it has, but I would also note that the christian god is not that god, even if you could demonstrate he exists. Best to get that out there from the outset.

I think the problem is that the question is too vague: what does "loving god" actually mean, in terms of attributes, actions, and beliefs? What does that god require of me?

See, when you start off that general, you look like one more in a long line of theists coming here and asking us one question, and then slipping in their own god into that equation later, to try and trick us into saying that it exists.
