I'd say "Okay then" and go on living my life. If he doesn't interact/affect the lives of humans or their after-death destination, then I don't think I'd care much at all. I wouldn't be an atheist anymore, as I'd have proof that a god exists, but I still wouldn't worship him or anything.

I'd ask him to make an exception on judging and send you to hell.

Hmm, so you presume that there is hell, do you?
And how you got this idea Harry?
Oh, religions say so?

I would have thought that we leave religions out this time but no.  Banging Head On Desk

Any chance that you can leave religions out this time?  Thanks

Ok, then.
Now suppose that God is your real father.
Forget the worship but would you say at least.........thanks for all father?

I mean.....suppose you have one son.
Would you like if your son ignore you?  I'm all ears!

First you must define 'god', this is a problem Christians have had from year dot. Ask ten Christians for a definition of 'god' and you'll get 130 answers. So now, negligible Rik, you have a go at it. Define 'god' in coherent falsifiable terms.

Get it right and world fame is yours.

Good luck

Lucky, lucky me then.  Smile

My definition is that God is like the one who has been described in the thousand of NDEs.

1) He-she (God doesn't have sex nor a physical body although he can incarnate) doesn't judge.
You rather judge yourself as you will be able to see your past mistakes.
2) God is supreme spiritual love.
3) Hate is out.
4) There is only one God.
5) God is everywhere and everything is made out of God.

I've had a near death experience years ago. I didn't die, obviously, nor did I see any light. I nearly died. Hence near death experience.

Personally I don't see anything spectacular about nearly dying. It's also known as barely surviving Tongue

It is natural that not all NDEs experience God and that for a very good reason.
Why God would show up to someone who is not prepared to take advantage of such an experience?

You have to be very very careful to understand anything written in the Bible.
I am not saying that the Bible is all BS.
There may well be a lot of truth in it but the interpretation given by the various churches in most cases is wrong.
Different churches give the interpretation that suit their agenda.
Hell is out the question.
If hell would exist then God wouldn't exist.
A perfect entity like God can not possibly do mistakes and hell is there for those who do mistakes so hell would be to sort out God mistakes but because God can not do mistakes then hell can not exist and therefore the interpretation of the Bible given by religions is 100% wrong.
You also have to take into account that in those times those mystics that wrote the Bible lived in the desert so the strong sun may well have cooked their brains therefore their interpretation of the nature of God was defective.  Lightbulb

What would you do if you find out that you’ve never ever had anything to do with any creditable mental process in your entire lemantable and wasteful existence?
