I wouldn't fall into the trap of answering the question. Instead, I'd ask the fundie what would they say to God if confronted face to face with him. They're christian, I'm not. I should really use them as my model for how to handle this important situation. I wouldn't want to offend God with a bunch of moron atheist questions.

To the fundie: So, hypothetically, God takes the time to come down from heaven to grace you with his holiness. Would God just appear to answer your questions, or would he have some other purpose? Hmmm, what might he want after going to all that trouble to come down from Heaven and all? What would a typical conversation with God be like? Well, let's go to the source of what we know about God.

"And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. " Genesis 22:2 (Kill your son)

"And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour." Exodus 32:27 (Kill your friends, family and neighbors)

"And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them." Dt 7:2 (Kill all the bad, bad, bad people)

I don't want to offend Infinity Lover by sooo wasting bandwidth quoting ad infinitum typical face to face conversations with God, but suffice it to say that the list goes on and on.

This is all we know about typical face to face chats with God. I would expect that in today's time, God might very well tell us he's going to serve up the Muslims if we'll just make sure we get all the good righteous men's penises circumcised and what not. Men's penises seem to be so important you know. So, for your part, fundie, he might just want you to focus on some flight training, so that you can be prepared to hijack a 757 to fly into Mecca during the Hajj.

And God says, "What say you my loyal and loving servant?"


I asked this in Believing in God. Amie says no to God! No, I won't kill and murder. No, I won't butcher babies. No I won't rip open pregnant women. That should be our model. Just say no to God!

I'd ask why an infallible god relied on fallible humans to convince me of his existence.

Catholics are allowed to go right on in and don't have to ask anything (we'll be our own judge).
