Because most of you said "no" ... you've made your minds up already. This shows that you will NOT accept any answer.
You've decided your fate without knowing anything. This puzzles, and saddens me. There is no hope for you at all.
Its like chopping your arm off because its dirty.
Man's perception of God is skewed in every aspect. My guess is that we will "all" be surprised rather than justified in our belief system, or lack thereof.
To clarify my question, for those who don't understand it:
IF you met your maker, the one who created YOU in HIS image, would you accept Him unconditionally [without question] in every way?
Will you Love Him? Or would you deny Him your love based on His absence in this life?
Obviously, we have a choices here. We will also have a choice in front of Him when He says..... "Will you accept me as your God?"
OH! You don't just mean any god, you mean the one you believe in. I would believe in him if real proof were presented. Of course meeting him in all his glory would count as proof, at least if I was sure it wasn't a dream, or something like that.
So assuming I believe and I meet my maker, would I love him? Depends on what he's like. Love isn't something you can just do. Either you do or you don't.
Would I obey him? Probably, he seems like a pretty vengeful guy and all powerful is well, all powerful. Prudence would suggest care in how I dealt with him.
But, I really don't want Yahweh to exist. He's an ugly, ugly figure as depicted by the Bible.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
