If I die and find myself brought before a god, that god is gonna have a whole lot of explaining to do.

I always say. What if you are wrong and Hindus are right or the buddhist maybe the Greeks were right. With that logic there are over 3000 gods that man have invented you better get to praying to all of them to cover your ass

If there is a god, she will have a lot of explaining to do.

Very eloquently stated:

I would use Ron Reagan's famous saying "I'm not afraid of going to hell."
That like is saying we seriously doubt existence of imaginary God.

I was told that "god" is quick to forgive. So if I am wrong I will ask for forgiveness because he created me to question things and hey, I got it wrong. However, it ain't something that keeps me up at night.

I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with the sadistic mother fucker.

Great.. then i can send more thoughts and prayers!!

He would have to beg my forgiveness and have one helluva good and thoroughly convincing excuse for all he has done or allowed to happen. Otherwise, I'd have no choice but to kill him. One cannot allow such evil to continue to exist.

Which god?

I live my life doing the right thing. Not because a book tells me to. Not because of fear of hell. But because I have known what it is like to Not be treated "right" .

Just b/c I end up being wrong, doesn't necessarily mean that Christians got it right. What if the Jews are right, Jesus is a phony, not the Messiah...and Yahweh sends you to hell for worshiping a false god? What if the Muslims are right, still the same god of Abraham, Issac, and Joshua...but you worshiped Jesus, so to the eternal human BBQ for you! What if there is a god who's named Odin, or Zeus, or Osiris? How do you know Protestant Christianity is right and not Orthodox, Catholic, Restorationism or Nontrinitarianism (Mormon or Jehovah Witness)? How do you know there is a god and ALL our religions didn't get it completely wrong?

Even if some proof of a god can be provided, there is still a huge burden of proof left to be addressed that your interpretation is 100% correct and infallible to 1) prove he/she/it made a hell and 2) what do I have to do to avoid it. Following your religion just because mommy and daddy told you too, when you have never practiced any others to see if they better miracles and revelations, isn't just putting all your eggs in one basket. It seeing the other baskets, and without any reasoning or experimentation, determining they won't hold your eggs b/c they aren't real baskets to begin with.

Although I must say, most religious people I meet are 100% basket cases!

I look at it the other way. If there is a cosmic justice, then faith on bad evidence is not the greatest justice. So I don’t live my life worried about Bronze Age myths.

If there is, then he must be a complete sadist!

I answer with the same question...
What if you are wrong and there is NO god?

I will be very surprised.

Will deal with that if and when the evidence is provided and not until.

I don't believe in a heaven OR a hell. (Coincidentally while I was a Christian attending a number of different denomination's churches many of them insisted there was a heaven but no hell.) I also don't believe in an anthropomorphic deity. However, IF there was, I would not believe in a petty, tyrranical, punitive god. If god is supposed to be a model for morality then, as far as I'm concerned, there can't be a hell. As a seriously flawed human being I could not send people to the kind of hell describe in th bible or by Dante. If I can't, then a 'good' god should be utterly incapable of doing so. And to go one further, I see no reason why an anthropomorphic deity should represent the male rather than the female (as it was in the earliest religions).

I been Wrong before.

Maybe, if God does exist ( I'm not saying he/she/it does or doesn't), the nature of God as known to mankind was just mankind creating God in OUR image.

There are over 3000 gods being worshipped, or a few gods being worshipped in 3000 different ways by most people and if you don't worship that god or gods in a certain way you will be damn . The Egyptian gods hold the record for time, I guess. The thing is if I wantedto worship a god it would be Odin . He came to rid the world of Frost giants.Jesus came to rid the world of sin.I don't see no Frost giants. The reason some don't believe in odin are the same reson I don't worry about jesus

Nah. It's easy to apologize and ask for forgiveness. But until such a time as that proof is presented, I shall remain entirely skeptical by lack of evidence.

Perhaps you can remind people who talk to you like that their God is supposed to be a forgiving and loving one.....therefore, no one - in theory - should end up in hell.

I give the simple, short answer.... if I am wrong , than that fucker is going to have a lot to answer for when I get there....

Then when I meet Him I'll say "Oh shit, sorry mate. Come down the pub and I'll buy you a couple of beers and we're even, yeah?"
