You haven't given us any real parameters within which to answer your question, you just keep saying "hypothetically" as if that tells us exactly what kind of answer you're looking for.
Hypothetically, if God was a ten-breasted rhino goddess from Africa that actually preferred atheists over theists and tossed all the theists who type in caps lock into Hell, well then wouldn't you look like an idiot, huh? Man it's nice to feel superior through hypotheticals.
What you say is very strange indeed.
Yes. Hypothetically he could prefer those who never believe in him versus those who believe in him but look back in history.
Have you ever seen someone who rewarded his detractors and tell his followers that they are idiots?
But this is hypothetical Rik, we aren't talking about anything real here. You're doing the same thing to us.
Hypothetically god could be an interdimensional squid monster who has no vested interest in our world at all. Hypothetically god could be a giant perfectly-formed human being in whose belly button we currently live. Hypothetically god could be the mouse under your fridge, and just likes to keep a low profile as to avoid meddling in free will. Hypothetically I could be god and judging your salvation based on your spelling and grammar.
"Hypothetically" is a pretty useless starter if you're trying to make a point about what actually is.
