Then he'd better have some bloody good answers prepared.

If god was proven to exist, it does nothing to change my opinion of such a being. If it fails to live up to its supposed benevolent nature, then it is undeserving of any worship or respect it or its followers so selfishly demands. Acknowledging its existence is one thing, condoning its poor communication skills and overall behavior is another thing entirely.

One can only hope that if a god did exist, it would be as far removed from anything human minds have conjured up.

My answer: I can't be certain that someone or something didn't put this universe into motion. What I CAN feel completely sure of, is that the violent, petty, inconsistent, sexist gods invented by homo sapiens are not real.

I believe if there were a higher being all that petty crap about Heaven and Hell would not apply. Also worship? What evidence of intelligence is there in wanting to be worshiped? What a waste of energy that could be spent on doing good.

If there is a god, it certainly isn't one we've heard of. If there is one that IS certain, none of the alleged revelations contain wisdom or knowledge beyond man's. I am sure it would be an interesting (if not dangerous) meeting. I would be asking LOTs of questions.

I know that doesn't really answer what you asked, but...

I been wrong before. End of the discussion.

What if theists are wrong and find there is a god but it's not their God? Oops. Well, when you choose one God from about 3,000 invented human gods, let's face it, the odds aren't good.

Very eloquently stated:

I just point out that S/He is supposed to be pretty big on forgiveness, so I'll probably be let off the hook.

If there is God, he/she/it has a lot to answer for.

Personally, I would have no qualms with that. I grew up Catholic, and entered college with the earnest intent to understand God. At not point did I think that I would become atheist. But by the time I graduated with my degree in religion, I no longer believed in anything. 10 years later, I am even more disillusioned with the idea.

If God is testing me to believe in something that I spent over a decade pursuing, yet it yielded no good reason for me to believe, then he/she/it is absurd. I can face God with a clear conscience. If that is how God operates, a being of that nature would not be worthy of my worship anyhow.

I used to really want there to be a God, but as I've grown older, I have changed my mind on that. There is a comfort with absolute freedom that I really enjoy. The air smells crisper, beauty becomes more beautiful, and my choices have more value. To live like there is no puppet master pulling any strings makes life a lot more exciting. So even if there is a God, at this point, I want to be left alone.

I could provide a detailed response, but I think it would be superfluous when Homer Simpson gave such a fine answer to this question:

I do not believe there is a God. If I am wrong and God does in fact exist then he was not concerned enough to let me know. If he is unconcerned about letting me know he exist, then neither should I be concerned with his existence.

worry about your life

I have been asked this and I would tell people that if they believe that god created me... then I was created perfect in his image. I ask them to affirm this. They have to do so... and then I say then I am groovy. If I was created by him, then he knows me quite well. I have no fear of the mythical creator. If there is one, then he should be cool as he made me. I know I'm cool with me.

Be your own god

Then I am wrong.

1 there is no rational or reasonable reason to think that there is anything supernatural in our universe. 2 anyone who sarts a sentence with ' If there is a god......' should be challenged with this question 'if there is a cyclops unicorn that created us.......'. 3 There is literally an infinite amount of things which are just as unlikely to be as true as things like god, or the cyclops unicorn. You will not have time to worry about all of them.

I would use Ron Reagan's famous saying "I'm not afraid of going to hell."
That like is saying we seriously doubt existence of imaginary God.

When asked this silly question I tell them is go and walk into the open arms of the dark Lord Satan because their God is a psycho.....then I giggle

That depends. Which god?

One religious person I once talked to said God wanted no evidence of his existence because then everyone would believe in him . So I said what’s wrong with that . He then said that God wants to test people’s faith in him without proof . I then said why didn’t he just create people with faith ,with out the ability to question it . He then came up with the answer all brainwashed religious people come up with when there is no logical answer which is ( you do not question Gods actions )

Lets say one day the existence of god is proven. That day I will say: "I was wrong, god exist." Period.

I'll take my chances, thanks.

@DavidDela89... My answer isn't really all that much different than yours, although I've never been asked that by anyone. If any god were real yet did nothing while millions of innocent people suffered, starved, and were subjected to genocide then that god is evil. Any god that would not even protect children within that god's own church/temple and allow children to be sexually molested by priests is evil. Any god that would create horrible diseases and allow babies to be born with terrible physical deformities is evil.

And if a god created me and gave me the intelligence and reasoning to use logic and I determined for myself that god is not real, then that god made me that way. Any all-knowing god knows exactly what would be required for me to believe in him/her/it. No god has ever provided such proof that I would require, so god is therefore willfully allowing me to go to hell where I will be punished for eternity simply for being a rational person.
