I would like to propose the following question to those who are Atheist:
If there was a loving God, would you accept him? Please explain why or why not.
I realize that this may seem like an overly basic question. But I am trying to better understand the presuppositions (metaphysical dream) that is behind the Atheist belief system. For this to help me improve my understanding of the Atheist belief system, I need everyone to be truthful and forthcoming about the question.
I look forward to hearing everyone's comments.
Thanks,
Nathan
Incidentally, it's not gone unnoticed that the bible god, Yahweh the Bloodyhanded, is being shoehorned into the equation by the use of selective capitalisation and the male pronoun. And please, stop capitalising the word "atheist" so as to imply a doctrine. That goes for everyone doing it, not just present company.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
