I thought we were talking about the infinitesimally small chance that atheism is wrong. If the Christian God exists then everyone has to face that reality after they die, not just atheists.
Yet now you talk of God's non-existence effecting people. If he doesn't exist he doesn't effect anyone for he isn't there to do any effecting.
Quote: It's just, what would happen if he did?If the Christian God exists it makes no difference whether you're an existentialist or not because everybody would be equally powerless compared to his will.
Quote: by his Denial of the question is the easiest route for the rationalist, not least because most people seem happy with it!
What would happen if God existed? Whatever he wants to happen if he's truly omnipotent. It makes no difference whether we're an existentialist or not.
