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.
Seeing you are discussing a fictional concept, Stephen Fry's answer is about right. That being said, I understand the need for a lot of the humans on this earth to have finite answers to questions that can't be answered. They would be living in so much fear, they would be paralyzed.
<3 that..
I'll have to think about what I'd say... Will be difficult to top all that...
"You have a lot of explaining to do".
in a Ricky Ricardo accent
The greatest trick of Satan was convinsing people he dosn't exist.
Why are you posting on an Atheist site?
@mickeyrom I thought I posted this where the question was about gods in movies.
If I should discover, after I die
that it be the truth, what I pegged as a lie
alone with the Gods, just a moment or two
to shake my head, and say shame on you
I'd tell him he's a shitty leader, creator, designer. But that won't ever happen.
I've seen Stephen Fry answer this question. I would simply accept his existence and request passage to hell. I wouldn't want to be near anyone who has the power to stop all the atrocities in the world and choses to watch like it's a reality show or something.
Have to be...."You sneaky bastard! You really fooled me...."
It's a moot question of course because it's like asking what you'd say to the tooth fairy but if I died, I can't say anything or percieve a conversation or eternity because souls are also a myth. Sentencing someone with a no longer functioning brain or central nervous system to a eneternity of torture is like beating a dead horse. But hypothetically I'd explain that he is a buffoon for designing a food chain where every creature must decide between murder in horrific ways in order to eat to survive or choose starvation. A world it knew that 20,000 children die daily for lack of nutrition. Where a god that can do anything would be smart enough to have all life survive on sunlight or no sustenance at all. But as I said, an omnipotent god would already know this and provide the answer before asking. It would provide it now.
First, I love the look on the interviewers face as Fry answers!!! I agree with his answer & yours. I'd lean closer to Fry in the respect that I usually am a bit flippant with this question, as I don't see it happening, but it'd be something like, "Jaweh (if it is that particular god), you got some 'splainin' to do!"
Nice I am loving this answer !
