What would you do if you found out God existed
RE: What would you do if you found out God existed
What would I do if I found out God existed? I'd demand my money back and an apology.

I think Meatloaf sang about that :p

I'm jumping in 32 pages late so excuse me if this has been said but doesn't this OP just kinda paint the perfect picture of her perfect scenario?

What would you do if I was right about EVERYTHING pertaining to this subject? Well like you want to hear, yes I would have to reverse my thinking once proven wrong. What kind of question is that? Wouldn't it cause more thinking on our part if we didn't Mary Jane this scenario?
“What screws us up the most in life is the picture in our head of what it's supposed to be.”

Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."

Or even if we thought about it realized, hey I might like that.  Would that be any kind of reason for thinking something was actually true?  [Pro-tip: nope.]

Absurd.

So Not atheist... Misotheist.

And He would say:

Yes, the plan is to allow everyone a singular choice and that is t spend eternity with him or not.

Quote: and if so, why doesn't he tell people how useless and greedy prayer is.
Petition maybe prayer is not. Jesus gave us strict guide lines on how to pray.

Quote:I would ask him why he allows for suffering all over the world.
He doesn't He has provided enough wealth in the west to feed and stablize the rest of the world. "we" are simply not good stewards.

Quote:I would ask him why he created people with sin if he really is/was responsible for the creation of the earth.
Sin is simply anything not in the expressed will of God. or in other words an alternative choice to God/ God's will/plan. seems you are confusing sin and evil. Evil is simpy the ultimate expression of being outside of God's will it is the want and desire to be apart from God in what you are doing.

Quote:Seriously, he could have left out that whole part, saving a shit ton of trouble.
This life is not about staying out of trouble. it is about seeking redemption for it.

Quote:I would ask him why he's been such a fucking asshole to allow my daughter to be separated from me by an abusive, narcissistic piece of shit who should be in jail.
Because the apple does not fall far from the tree/the sins of the (daughter) often time the sins of the (mother.)

Quote:I would ask him why he's taken over 2000 years to finally show up.
He would say I show up every day for those who follow me. I can crtainly attest to that!

Quote:I would ask him how, after he's allowed horrible things to happen and he finally shows his face, he expects anyone to trust and just believe that he is indeed this mysterious "god" being.
1)horrible is subjective. people dying so what... where do they go? the are born into eternty. Seriously.. is a birth a time of weeping? Just because you do not understand death, does it make God evil?

Quote:I would tell him what a low life asshole he is.
yeah good luck with that... I tried.. do you know how he shut my mouth? He simply gave me a full understanding of life/my life and he took away the lies i use to tell myself!.

Quote:I would tell him that he has no right to ask anyone to worship him since he allowed terrible things to happen.
Jerkoff He allowed terrible things to happen to his son so that you may find atonement. Not that he cause terrible things, he simply turned Jesus over to the master of this world. You live in this world the one who does terrible things is not God. God gave satan rule here, God never demanded he be cruel or evil to us. You are "confused" as to who is responsible for you plite.
Quote: And I would ask him what a "supreme being" actually needs with money since he can literally conjure up anything he wants to.
He doesn't.
Maybe that is why were not not commanded to give God anything, yet turn over everything.

Quote:And then I would walk away and life my life just as I have been doing, still believing that there is no god.
Oh, to be old and foolish...

Once you meet God nothing is ever the same again.

@Dripshit

I read none of the verbal diarrhea that spews from your pie hole. So responding to anything I post is rather useless. Go play in traffic.

Don't hate your god, or the idea of any god in particular. It's just that the entire concept seems to be clearly made up, in my view.

If I found out some god or another were real, I suppose I'd think: 

"Well, what do you know....Gods are real! Shut the front door!
But wait a minute...that means that fu..fuggin' vampires might be, too! .....ZOINKS!"

Seriously...I'd wonder how much of the other crazy shit I believed to be ridiculous, implausible and/or impossible, might actually true.

I'd go on about the business of living, though I'd most certainly wonder what this "God" cat was all about/what his or her angle might be. And perhaps consider opening up a paranormal detective agency, starting a new career investigating the suddenly possible world of magic, spells, gods, monsters, mythical creatures, mysticism, etc. ....kinda like that show Angel. 

No doubt I'd put some serious effort into seeking/stalking a leprechaun.

RE: What would you do if you found out God existed
I doubt I'd want to be with god even if he somehow proved to be peachy keen.

First, it would take a lot to convince me of that.
Second, there's still the issue of it being a forced/unwanted, entirely one-way relationship.

Christians have this weird "Well, if you just took the the time to get to know him, I think the two of you would hit it off" thing going on. They don't seem to grasp exactly how creepy it is. Actual relationships have give and take. They have feedback. They not only have conversation, but shared activities. One can't hang out at god's house and play D&D, or join a local bowling league with god, or go to the movies with god.

And, if god were real, I'd demand restitution. His kid didn't die for me. I never asked him to be sacrificed (not that I would), and I certainly have never done anything that would warrant someone's death as fair punishment. But, if god were real, then he's why I'm disabled. He's why I had to endure 43 surgeries as a kid. He's why I have a pathological fear/conditioned response towards hospitals, doctors, needles, etc. He's the reason why I suffer from pressure sores even today. He's the reason why I'm also diabetic (late onset Type I, which has nothing to do with diet and exercise). He's the reason why my father was a child molester, on top of being a mentally (and sometimes physically) abusive asshole.

So, yeah, if he's real, he owes me. Pay up.
