QUESTION What would you say to God if when you died you were faced with him?

This question was asked to Stephen Fry and I love his answer. So I ask you what would you say?

  • Click description above to see Stephen Fry's answer*

To answer my own question I suppose I would be more logical and tell God it was his fault I did not believe in him because if he created me then he knows I would not blindly follow anything that reads like a fairytale or where there was no proof of existence.

Depends which god I suppose.

i don't think it depends in which god, just think of it all of them promise a paradise the wonder place, is this a game?

Pick one and give it a shot. Let's say, for shits and giggles, you meet the late J.C. -- or his dad. What do you say?

why did he left everything left to run in course, leting peopme die, letting them to kill, rape, and why in the fuck he would ever make rules on the things he does not want humans to do, would he left us because he made us in his image therefore we are Gods as well. Is this some kind of game to be able to play in heaven, everything seemed to be desing on math why wouldnt he let people know that they must find their own path and see that there is no difference.

Which god? If there's only one, as the question implies, why would "he" be male? With no female gods to mate with that makes no sense.

In any case, in the unlikely event something like the proposed happens, I suppose my greeting would be "go fuck yourself."

I would say if you were a true loving god that cared about people in the universe then you would have not created mass murders, so many different types of cruelty, sadness on a mass scale, and so on its a long list of fuckups.

How could you make something so beautiful and mix in so much ugliness on purpose! Free will doesn’t mean you couldn’t at least give us all the information available (you’re existence) instead of playing a game of vanity.

"Oi God, you do not exist." {and I'd kick him in the shin & storm off.

Gang rape? Why'd ya think that was a good idea? The bystander effect? Children with cancer? Anybody with cancer for that matter? The elections of 2000 and 2016. Dead 6 million Jews. Why? People spending their entire lives in prison for crimes they did not do. Shame on you.

What if when you die, you meet all the versions of yourself that could have existed had you lived up to your highest potential of discernmental Interests. You are 'God'. You create your reality.

I say poppycock to "meeting" other selves and "you are god." But that's just me.

@BlueWave I know the hot button words that get everyone here twisted up in semantic pretzel. But aren't you a 'higher self' from who you were as child? And when you see children of a developing age, aren't you talking to a congruent version of your self aka a homosapien? Sharing knowledge is just that. But thanks for the option. That's why I'm hear. It helps to bring clarity to my point by seeing the intent versus interpretation.

“What the fuck!? You’re fired!”

I don't understand the question. I'll be dead.

This is pretend, Gareth. Pretend you meet this god person when you die. Now pretend you say something to this god person. What do you say?

@BlueWave I suppose I also have to pretend that I recognise this as 'God' and that he/she/it speaks English. I might say "how come I can talk without a mouth, face you without a face, and think without a brain?", but like being present at a mass shooting, I don't really think you can guess how you would behave until it happens. I might be relieved that I'm still 'alive' in some sense, or I might be worried that I hadn't kissed this guy's ass enough in the past.

@Gareth LOL! Loved your last sentence. 🙂

Well I'll be damned.

This one made me laugh. 🙂

What’s up with childhood cancer yo?

Can't beat Stephen Fry's response. Some good additions here already, though.

Me? I'd ask him why, when a man rapes his 12 year old daughter, he sometimes pushes that big old 'make a baby' button of his. If he has the power over conception, and every new life is his will and blessing, why does he burden any 12 year old with that? Especially one that's been a victim of their own parent.

Indeed, why does he press that button for people who can't afford to raise their children or won't care for them, and staunchly refuse to press it for well off couples who would dote on their child?

Anyone would think that he just stabbed at that button at random. Or that he and the button didn't exist in the first place.

How are my father, mother, and sister? Tell them I love them.

Exactly my first thought.

Seems apparent to me that a loving mother would never treat her children so mean. A man now will sometimes claim to love someone and still beat the shit out of them.

My god is the universe. You can’t give it a gender, and our knowledge is still so insignificant to have any understanding what it all means and if we even pertain to it.

"I've always done my best to be kind to other people within my limited means; what's your excuse you egotistical, all powerful bastard?"

Fry's answer is pretty good. I'd say: Why do you hate brown people so much?

I would say "so your that bastard that's responsibile for all the crap that is going in this world"?

Take me to the bar dude 🙂 I hope there is pole dancers

Which one?

And why are you using a male pronoun?

Let me guess.

You also see him as "White" and "Gentile"

On edit - Fry's answer was excellent. I have answered very similar to that when some evangelic type keeps pushing the issue because they think they are going to cause me to have a "come to Jesus moment."

That type of answer will generally shut them down. .

C'moooooonnnnnnnn people..............focus. Okay -- say it's an Asian female god. 🙂

You die. What do you say to her?

I am Latina and an Atheist so my God would be Frida Kahlo if I could chose. But honestly when written I was not thinking about the pronoun it was more about the question itself. So the God of your choosing , race and gender of your choosing.
