If there was a loving God, would you accept him?

[Brian37]

Ladies and Gentleman,

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

If there was a loving unicorn, would you accept it? If there was a loving snarfwidget would you accept it? If Mickey Mouse were real would you accept it?

I'd love to give all 7 billion humans ice cream and have them have the ability to fart money out of their ass so they could buy food and pay their bills, but utopias do not exist.

Now, as a claimed attribute "all loving", just as a claim, is a broken claim which makes no sense, no matter what name you give this claimed god.

50 million people on average die worldwide from everything from disease, crime, war, in birth and old age. That indicates an unfortunate part of reality. It does not indicate a super hero that can protect us.

If we pretend for arguments sake a super natural being existed, there is absolutely no objective way you could say it loves us. No sane parent in reality could get away with what claimants of God say he can.

If a parent behaved in the selective deadbeat manor with the same spotty record as the claimed god does, the child would be taken away from that parent and they would be arrested for neglect and or abuse.

Oh and BTW the salutations at the beginning and end of the posts you make are superfluous. If you have already introduced yourself in the intro section of this forum, there is no need to repeat that in every post. This is not the Ritz Carlton 5 star Hotel. Relax, be yourself, no need to be formal.
