What's your answer to "what if you die and God is real?" Mine has always been I'd look God straight in the face and say "apologize."

My answer would be the same as Stephen Fry's

@Storybook Thank you and likewise Ma'am 🙂

That guy's face at 1:43. He's probably thinking, "He just keeps going and going. Why did I ask him that question?"

@joeymf86 Gay Byrne seemed in shock at the deluge that just hit him lol

If God is real...
That means so is Jesus, and the unconditional love for those who do good acts.

Jesus knows the church has strayed from his message. He will welcome all who care for their siblings with open arms. Works are more important than Words.

Only for Christians. To Jews he was a rebel, and to Muslims an amiable and honest teacher. To the rest of the world, he may or may not have even existed as an historical figure, but he most certainly wasn't divine.

Even if the god one believes is real is the Abrahamic god Jehovah, it does not follow that Jesus is real. To make that connection, one would have to demonstrate that the scriptures, both old and new testament, as interpreted by some particular hermaneutical system, is accurate. And that the notion that Jesus taught nothing but unconditional love for the well-intentioned and never taught judgment for those who fail to correctly follow the scriptures, would also have to be demonstrated.

All of which is a pretty tall order.

And then one would have to demonstrate how one knows that Jesus knows that the church has strayed from his teachings.

But I'm just yanking your chain a bit, I know you're posing a hypothetical. And welcome, by the way.

Why would an omnipotent and omniscient god care? If I live life right and make good decisions for people around me and the greater good, he/she/they ought to be rather satisfied with the results. If not, then I'm owed an explanation.

I'd spit in it's eye, and take a swing at it for being such a passive/aggressive douchebag.

Nice. Slap him upside the head and say, 'dude practice what you preach, now, turn the other cheek!' 😉

That's a really big what if with a really, really small chance of being realized. Really! ?

I would tell him I'm not impressed.

I never asked to be created

How dare you judge me for being exactly the way you created me

God would have some shit to answer for...

Not only "apologize", but explain. Explain things like disease, famine, allowing people like Hitler, Stalin, Dahmer, and the Conquistadors. I would also ask him why give us something as precious as dogs, and then take them away after only a few years? Why let complete assholes live, while killing good people? Basically, explain his amazing plan so that it makes sense, and explains the evidence (including his inconsistencies, hypocrisy, and the judgment of his creation).

Also, I would want to know if we were just one of his many "experiments", given the vastness and age of the known universe, and why he chose some of the odd methods he did for "making himself known" as the One True God.

You should’ve talked to us. Really. Don’t expect to be believedwhen you communicate in such a cryptic manner.

You've got a lot to answer for, there, Bub.

Yes but what if he said "I just created you and gave you free will to do as you please. You created religion all on your own. "

If that is what the truth is. god knows what is going to happen so what's the point?

Amen to that, brother!

I know with every fiber of my being there is no God or gods. I do believe there are beings of higher knowledge in the universe that have been here in the past and may have hand in our advancement.

"It's you! Wow! Let's have a beer!"

I'd say, "So Sam and Dean Winchester were right about you..."

Go, 'damn yourself'.

Well ... I don't know that I'd have a basis to feel entitled to an apology, or that it would be prudent to demand one. But I have always said that whether in this life or the next, if there were any sort of creator-god that would finally present itself openly to me, the next question would be what the actual characteristics and character of that being was, what its demands / claims on me would be, and whether it was worthy of any sort of trust or cooperation. Those are all entirely separate questions. Theists tend to ask such "what if" questions, as if the existence of god is equivalent to settling the question of whether one should worship it.

I kinda love this group of people.

I'd say he/she/it only has itself to blame for everything lol. I'd probably have a few more choice words too.

I never had a very good answer to that question but I sure do now! Thank You!

I'd say "tell me about yourself!" Because all I've heard from the religious has been ridiculous.

If god wanted people to believe it'd give us evidence.
