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 kind of went off in a different direction re the question. So, being faced with 'God' or some of God's HIgher Spiritual representatives, I'm sure we'd talk about how this last lifetime played out for me and what's next on the agenda...and a lot more. My understanding of the 'afterlife' is that's just life continuing where you learn more, rest, enjoy, refresh as you get ready for your next adventure...

Stephen Fry's answer is an excellent response that I feel should be directed to the heralded 'God' of Christianity and Judaism. And for very obvious reasoning as provided by Fry; how do you possibly reconcile with the deaths of innocent children via cancer and other diseases? Relinquishing a belief in God, as Fry says, banish Him from your mind, then you're life gets more simpler and easier. The 'God' of the Judeo-Christian faith is very judgmental when the 'bible' is interpreted in literally translated manner. Such verse in scriptural texts is never meant to literally interpreted as the 'stories' provided are meant to be instruments of spiritual teaching. It's often referenced as 'spiritual jargon' meant to be hidden from the uninitiated, often referred as esoteric texts.

I can't see you. My eyes are down there rotting in my decomposing body. I can't believe in you. My heart is no longer pumping blood into my brain. I can't talk to you. The cat's got my tongue.

Hey, there! Well, surprise me. Despite my nonbelief, I hope you think I did a good job being a good human in my life. I certainly tried.

you need approval ?

Not really sure what else I might say to the deity I thought didn't exist.

I like both your answer and Stephen Fry's, but I would probably say that no matter how much you claim to be God, I know that you can't be. No God would ever create a world like this, let alone the Hell that you seem to enjoy sending your creation to for the simple act of not believing in nonsensical mythology. So, stop lying.

"So you are real. Imagine that. Too bad so many in the human race misunderstand, misrepresent, or misquote you. You've done a great job giving them the tools they need, but they still can't seem to get it just right. It will be interesting to see where they end up." Lol

Why did you make it so impossible to believe in you . Why would you make me smart enough to question your bull shit infalibe book. If you knew all along how it would all end what was the point,why did so many suffer. Why do you need to be worshiped so much that I go to hell if I refuse or can't. And where is the door!

Lucy, you’ve got some esplaining to do

He/She created poverty and rape so I would just give him/her the finger.

Sadly, we are NOT like trees. We have free will. We can be rapists, murderers, child molesters. We can become Catholic Pedophile Priests. This world is so violent, and there are so many evil creatures out there. When I die, I don't want to come back. I've had a pretty good life all in all. Spring is here, it was nice out today. It is best to live in the NOW moment.....and just try to let go of hate and anger. This whole place is a hallucination and it will be over before we know it.

It would go something like this

'Well fuck me you are real!'

I would want to know where all my dogs and pets were, where are you hiding the prostitutes and virgins, where is the wine, what the fuck is for dinner?

Great question! Maybe, "It was nothing personal, there were just too many holes in your story."

To the god I was taught to believe in as a child, "are you a god at all, or just this sadistic?"
