God vs ?? - A Debate.

[AnimatedDirt]

I had initially posted this on that thread If when you die you meet God..., but then quickly removed it thinking this may be an interesting topic.  Not sure.

So who would you pick (obviously anyone in history is available to you as a choice) to have a debate with the Christian God?  Maybe you yourself think you have sufficient knowledge to take the debate?

Personally, since I don't know many of the staunch historical Atheists, I would have to pick either Hitchens or Dawkins.  I wonder if Dawkins would make time for God given he doesn't waste time on such things...?

Thoughts?

Debate with god... Hitchens. Conversation with god, I think I would go with Hypatia.

Edit: I'm going to change my debat answer to Osiris. That way we can solve the horus/jesus issue once and for all.

If there is a god Hitchens has already ripped him several new ones. 

Dawkins would work, too. Maybe a "good cop-bad cop" combo?

I would be sitting on the edge of my seat.

One would hope that God is not present in the form of fire so as to not dryout the grumpy lump...

It would be a monologue given that even if a god exists, it doesn't interact with people, it certainly doesn't speak to people and it most certainly isn't open to debate with mere humans.

You disagree or question it, you end up smited (according to my perception of the bible). Not sure about other gods, they might be much more accommodating than the one described in the OT.

I disagree.  I think he'd be more than willing to allow a debate...if he existed.

Asmopottery, it is still deadly ferocious, yes.

Asmopottery, it is still deadly ferocious, yes. 

...and quite possibly aesthetically appealing too.

Well, that should be rock solid proof to you then that there is no god in existence.
Unless of course you rationalise that noone has attempted to engage your god in debate or that the endless silence offered by your god in response is the perfect response.

Depends on what the debate would be about.

If the debate is about the pros/cons of drug use, I nominate pytheas or Crow
Anything to do with horses or lizards or taxidermied animals - Budhorse
Books - BooksCatsEtc
Morality and Why We Don't Need It - Stevil
Pottery and Other Plans for World Domination - Asmo
Nat King Cole songs and/or Dancing Cats - Amicale
Hats - Pudding
Dogs and Assorted Swear Words - Tank
Can You Be a Ninja and a Sniper At the Same Time - Guardian
Looking Cool - Sweet D
Why Bad Puns Are the Best - Me

I'm sure there are tons of other subject matter experts on here.

Ooh! Quite irresistable when decorated with some bloodied thornbush patterns.

No real sure what you're getting at.  Are you saying that me thinking the Christian God would be open to a debate is proof that this God doesn't exist?  First of all, the premise, which I obviously didn't make clear but alluded to by where I initially was going to post, is that the debate is at the fictional end of time.  Obviously this would be the time when ANYONE is available to debate.

Unless of course you rationalise that noone has attempted to engage your god in debate or that the endless silence offered by your god in response is the perfect response.

Rationalize...  I wont get into it here.
