I assume all good atheists if presented with a god of unimaginable power and were asked to do something horrific, they would all refuse.

Or, at least, that's the story....

In these threads, the atheists are all like, "Well, I'm that one guy." I'm sorry. I don't buy it. I've played enough poker to know the difference between the talk and the action. I just think a lot of the responses to these threads are all talk and no trouser.

I think it's hilarious that you presume to "know" how a person would react in such a situation. You're always welcome to your own opinion or forecast of events but, frankly, calling bullshit over another members response while claiming that you know the difference between talk and actions just makes you another jackass claiming knowledge over something you can't possibly know.

In other words: you don't know shit about this.


As for a response to the OP:

Hell no. Sure, I'd be scared as hell if an omnipotent being asked me to do such a thing, but that wouldn't change my response.
