Just requesting civility and respect.
At the same time as telling everyone that they deserve to be tortured and burned forever if they don't start thinking the same way as you. Civility and respect, my arse.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Anyway, Rev, it's now ten pages in and the best, at least most consistent, answer to your original hypothetical is that we would have to accept this god's existence as a reality, but it would still fall far short of a reason to worship it.
Did you expect anything else? Do you consider the question answered now? Because quite frankly, the issue now tends towards what you aim to do with the information provided, rather than what we might imagine we'd do with the hypothetical knowledge of an equally hypothetical god.

So's a God who floods out almost the entire human species, women and children included, because he has poopy pants about the way they're using the freedom he gave them. I might have to choose the eternal damnation or oblivion as the more honorable choice. After all, bribes only go so far in pulling a person away from a proper moral system.
Look I don't know you but I'm gonna go ahead and call bullshit. I think because of the nature of this thread a lot of people are being disingenuous. Have you ever been mugged before? Have you ever been held at gun point? Have you ever been woken up in the middle of the night by a burglar who held you at screw driver point threatening your life? Then you find out later that he wasn't there for a regular burglary. He was there to kill your cousin because she turned him down for a date. Have you ever been in a life threatening situation under duress from someone else? Look I've never been held at gun point but I know people who have. I've gone through all of the other things I've mentioned above.
My point is that when your life is on the line your brain stops working normally. When I got mugged people asked me why I didn't ask the dude for my sim card? BECAUSE I WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT SEEING ANOTHER DAY! It didn't even occur to me to think about sim cards.
Mafuckers on this thread don't even have the balls to stand up to their neighbours and they claiming they'd stand up to a GOD that is best described thusly:
Richard Dawkins Wrote:The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.
Come on guys. You know you'd bow so far that you could kiss your asshole. If a man holding you at gun point, no scratch that, at knife point can get you to do it, a maniacal god sure as hell can.
Nothing says infinite mercy like ruling with fear. I've said elsewhere that one's will is not free when one's soul is held hostage.
To answer a few of your questions and assumptions: I've been robbed twice, once at knifepoint, once at gunpoint. Both times I gave him my money and didn't get shot or stabbed. I was a firefighter in the Air Force and have seen some pretty crazy shit. I ran into burning buildings when everyone with a lick of common sense was running out. My point is that fear, like any other emotion, is a controllable matter.
Also, your patois is charming ... cuz.

Black Mason I completely disagree with you. People tend to live for the here and now regardless of promises of future pain or pleasure. When I was ten I chose to stay home from church camp so I could on a trip with my friend and her family, even though my parents said if I didn't go to church camp I would have to stay with my neighbor at the end of the summer instead of going on family vacation. I didn't change my mind until the morning of the family vacation, which sadly was too late for my parents but may or may not be too late for god. If I'm going to trade one hell for another I would obviously chose the one that comes after I'm dead. Sure if I was 100% sure about the reality of the god of the bible I would probably change my mind at the last minute. Maybe a quick I'm sorry for everything right before I died. This guy knows my heart though, so he would know I am lying. He would know I think he's a monster anyways. I'm going to waste my whole life in the hopes that he will accept my disengenuous worship? I think not.

Okay, you have a point. When the big guy kicks the door down I shall expect to shit my pants then. Happy? However these stories told of bad ass gods which no one can detect are a different story. Can't even bring myself to pee my pants a little over their ghost stories. Sorry. Not even a little baby widdle?
On a scale of 1 to 100 where one is the lowest level imaginable, say equivalent to your fear of spoons, and one is abject terror...
I may start to dribble a little if He sends this one.

As much as you disagree or believe in the contrary, humor me and let's say that this is the case. If that be so and there is a hope for eternal life by placing your faith in Christ, would you accept that and receive Him? Or, would you defiantly reject this offer?
Not really. I couldn't accept such a monster.

Dominant, check, black hair, check, brown eyes, check. Very dark brown, mind.
Ha. Knees. That's funny, that implies you'd be on the ground.
No, hanging from the ceiling in chains, trussed up like a hog is how you'd be.
