If there is a god and she loves me and knows my heart, she'll be glad to see me.
If there is a god and he's a capricious asshole like the YHWH figure in the wholly babble, I don't want to spend the afterlife anywhere near him. Who knows what weird sadistic shit he might get up to next?
Frankly, I'd be much more surprised that my consciousness could exist after my brain stopped working than I would to discover a deity. Once you posit a disembodied afterlife, anything else is just gilding the lily.
Ok.
Now for a minute try to think that you are God and you are dealing with an atheist that just pop up in the supernatural world after his physical death.
As an hypothetical God and as the master of the universe what would you think or do.
Would you be pleased to see him or would you be pissed off to see him.
That would depend entirely on my personality.
If I were a capricious, wrathful, jealous trickster-god, I'd be both pleased and pissed. Pleased because I'd have a new toy to torment, and pissed just because that's who I am.
If I were a loving, forgiving, kind and merciful god, I'd be pleased to see anyone and everyone. I would be able to ease the pain and suffering that is inherent to life, and I'd finally be able to explain the purpose and workings of the Universe.
