One normal day, Armageddon arrives, and amidst the fireballs and atomic blasts you realise that you don't believe in God.
As an atheist/agnostic, you find yourself standing before God. Apparently, his efforts to appear non-existant had you fooled, and unless you can tell him why not, he is going to send you to Hell.
What would you say to God, if he allowed you a few minutes to sway him?

Moderator Formal Warning

And that goes double in the A Room: if we can't even call Christianity "bull" in the A Room, where can we do it? Anybody who is worried about getting their little feelings hurt should have stayed the edited out for content out in the first place.

Please review the Rules. Even in the A Room, all members are to be civil and respectful. Try to say what you need to say without metaphors involving defecation, human or bovine.
When the moderators feel the rules have been violated, a notice will frequently occur within the thread where the violation occurred, pointing out the violation and perhaps providing other moderator comments. Moderator warnings and comments are made publicly, within the thread, so that all members may see when and how the rules are being interpreted and enforced. However, note that any challenges or replies to moderator comments or warnings should be made via Private Message. This is so that threads do not get derailed into discussions about the rules. |
|
HelloDollyLlama is free to participate in the forum if he or she is willing to follow the rules. The above is a blatant and repeated flouting of these rules. If you are unwilling to follow the rules of the forum then the simply answer is not to participate. |

"If you wanted us to worship you, why didn't make it obvious you're real and need worship instead of hiding behind vague predictions, sending your son to die painfully on a cross (and only letting a small percentage of people living then see that), instead of giving us real evidence of your existence? And now you're punishing us because you were too shy and/or lazy to show yourself? That's kinda childish, isn't it? Also, if you made us a self-portrait of yourself and gave us a brain to think with, don't you feel a bit embarrassed you didn't make our brain big enough to KNOW you're real instead of forcing us to just plain believe blindly?"
I need to take a deep breath. |

I'd ask him why He deliberately made Himself logically impossible to make all morally good and productive, beneficial members of humanity not believe in Him.
I lol'd at HDL's "dialetic" as well. |

I'd have a few questions:
1. which god are you?
2. why so little evidence for your existence?
3. why is blind-belief better than physical evidence and reasoned logic?
4. why did you create a universe with none of the hallmarks of a created one?
5. why did you create nasal hair? It's just not pretty
Then be on my merry way. |

I would have realized it already, but if he arrives as you describe above, I'd probably say "Holy Sh#%, you ARE real." |
