I couldn't answer that without knowing which god(s) it would be, especially since all gods are equally fictitious to me at present.

Any god, though Christians who say it to me are referring to their own imaginary friend.
It can even be Anoia, goddess of things that get stuck in drawers.

Quote:I was walking along the bank of a stream when I saw a mother otter with her cubs, a very endearing sight, I'm sure you'll agree. And even as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued and dragged onto a half submerged log. As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and I remember to this day the sweet pinkness of its roes as they spilled out, much to the delight of the baby otters, who scrambled over themselves to feed on the delicacy. One of nature's wonders, gentlemen. Mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that is when I first learned about evil. It is built into the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior.
And if I weren't allowed the time to monologue I'd say "I did my duty, Pterry".

My usual answer to this weak question is “You’re under arrest for crimes against humanity.”
What would YOU say to god if you were to stand before it?
I think I'd just be talking to myself.

Were you drying out in the county drunk-tank at the time?
That was probably just a cell-mate.

You realize, of course, that you're talking about embracing a being whose morals and behavior are no better than those of Hitler or Stalin?
