For God to be a Christian, God must first exist. I don't think he passes that basic test...

Well. That's one answer, I guess.
But let's assume that he did exist, is he a christian?

A Christian is defined as someone who believes Jesus is their savior from the impending punishment hanging over everyone due to Gods own fuck-ups when he created mankind.

God`s not at risk of any punishment or Hell so why would he need to accept Jesus as his savior and be "Christian"?

I'd suspect that if God existed, he would be an atheist. There's nothing in the bible that indicates that God believes in any power higher than himself.

Thanks for answering. Even if the question sounds like a joke, it's still food for thought.

A very good question - but not one which I think any of the Christians who come here will answer. They can see the noose, and I don't think will put their heads in it...
