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?

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.

I would suggest an anger management class and some specific treatment (or meds) for narcicism. AFter all, who is more self-absorbed than a mythic God?

Where were you when I lost my keys?

On a more serious note I imagine an interesting discussion of morality before determining how I feel about it. How does it justify none intervention in rape, or is it incapable of intervening? Is it responsible for any of the atrocities claimed to be it's actions?

I'd hope that I have the will to standby my moral convictions in the face of a potentially all powerful asshole. Though it is hard to predict an emotional response in such a situation. I may weakly cave to fear. (hope not)

If I had only one question?
Why must there be suffering? How does it serve anyone or anything? Why do you allow it to continue.
And if he gives me the freewill dodge I would punch him in the face.

Why the hell did you send us down there? Did you really kill yourself because we were all bad and needed to be saved? What the hell is the deal with you and your dad committing genocide? Never mind, your answers are rubbish please send me to hell so I can be with people I can relate with.

I would ask him why he allows so much needless suffering to be focused on people that don't deserve it and allows so many horrible people to experience success and have influence.

I was listening to some youngsters at a "Meeting" once. They were going on and on about the same topic. And how that's why they don't believe. came my turn to "share". You gotta know I will share some shit! I said; "Imagine for a moment you are GOD. You would be supremely intelligent and have ALL information for your decisions. It would follow that you would always know the right thing to do, and be too smart not to do that. Perhaps He(She, It, whatever) so loves us that he gave us the one thing that even He doesn't have; Free Will.
Further, consider eternity. You have a child, you love them more than anything. They mash their finger in the chain on a swingset. You know how terrible the pain is, and you hate that your beloved child is going through that. However, it's a passing thing and not that big of a deal. Imagine one who was born into the worst painful and degrading life ever. And they lived it for A HUNDRED YEARS! Given the postulate of life eternal, you'd have to think GOD hates all of the strife and injustice, but it's really not that big of a deal in the long run". As I watched their faces dealing with new concepts, (My favorite hobby, by the way), I said, "And I don't even buy that supernatural shit!". But your logic is flawed. If you don't believe in "Magic" do it for sound reasons, don't just "Whistle in the dark" hoping you are right because you think you have fucked up and are hoping for a loophole.

A rather ridiculous question for this site especially and to assume it is a he?

I don't believe its ridiculous at all... the question is important BECAUSE its on this site. what if you were faced with God when you believed None existed? It would indeed make for an interesting scenario. also God is typically referred to as "he" because its easier grammatically. (also historically males are the symbol of power, but, I digress). after all, it is called His-Story 😀

Id tell him he should be on his knees apologizing to everyone he killed with a natural disaster or by terminal illnesses or something like starvation.
