These are all superficial rubbish. What about family? Friends? Health? God can walk off with any of your five precious things, they hardly define what is important about life, nor would their absence make me long for an imaginary paradise (where these stupid materialistic trifles are presumably in endless supply - like we'll all need cars in heaven!).

First, how would an imaginary being take something away from me. If I lost something, I might feel bad about it, but I would survive. I've gained and lost many things in my life. That doesn't need any belief in any gods. No matter what, I have enjoyed the priviledge of having lived and enjoyed life.
It's too bad that you think your life is subject to some invisible sky being toying with you. That's got to be maddening.

My answer is #6 other. It would be my husband and children. I would go on with life because I know that God never puts anything on us that we cannot handle and what ever he does give us we should be gratefull for no matter how long we have it. God has a reason for everything and we are not to question it.

My salvation! God will not take this from me.
God is a giver, not a taker. He gave us His son and, thereby gave us salvation, freedom, peace etc. The bible tells us that "no good thing will He withold from those who walk uprightly".
My trust is in God and His nature. When things go, I know something better is comming.

Christ is first then my family.
If God took away my family, I would be angry for a while (i am human aren't I?) but I would move on. He ALWAYS provides for me.

If I lost something important to me then I would not be angry at any diety. I would learn from the situation and work to get it back.
