Title: if there was a god
Post by: spartacus on January 04, 2009, 09:08:59 AM
just for some fun lets imagine it was finally proven that there is a god and he revealed himself to you. would you

1-cower on your knees and beg his forgiveness

2- ask him which of the religions you should join as a way of worshiping him

3- or say `i don`t agree with your teachings or principles`

It depends what type of God he was.   If he was the God of the bible and it turned out that the whole thing was true I'd be pretty annoyed that he'd disguised that fact so well and led so many people up the garden path as if he didn't actually want anyone in heaven.

If there was an Abrahamic god, I'd give it a finger. I see no need to worship or even defer to something even if it is my creator. I've not defered to my mother since I was eight or so, so why would I do that for a sky daddy I never knew?  :borg:

If it turned out to be true, it didn't make a difference in my life up to this point, it's not going to change anything now.

If it were the Abrahamic God of the Bible, I'd tell him to go fuck himself, the sadistic bastard.  After all, even if an evil being created us, it would still be an evil being.

If it were a being that had created life on earth, I'd probably just want to ask how and keep asking questions until I dropped dead.

If I came up to a polytheistic god, I'd probably laugh. "Mars, nobody believed in him for years!"

An Abrahamic god however? I'd probably try to take medication before I do something I might regret.

Well, I would ask him to uncreate me. Failing that, I would continue living my life as normal. Hell would be a bitch, though.  :eek:
