I'm an Atheist and I answered to the hypothetical. Seeing as to the majority of Atheists avoiding it somehow I am led to wonder: Are you scared of the question or what?

Well, I am an Atheist. I just don't like hypocrisy. Many of you other Atheists are asking questions and expecting answers. If someone asks you, they deserve one, not "WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE!?! LET ME SEE IT FIRST."

There are many answers there and I stand by mine, what on earth is there to be scared of?

What's wrong with demanding evidence first?
Hypothetical questions can be stupid and pointless - If I asked you what would you do if you a werewolf was chasing you and you could see a vampire up ahead - who cares? Its a stupid situation that could never happen.
You say you're an atheist but you act as if evidence is no big deal?
What else do you have if you reject that? Faith based beliefs? You're a theist, we know you from the stench.

I answered it there and I'll answer the same here
I am an atheist and I live a moral and just life. If I were to find out that there was a God, I would not change a thing.
I wonder if Believers would feel the same way - that is, if they found out there weren't a God would they change THEIR lifestyle.

I answered it. The thing is it is up about twice a day and it is really played. I don't blame most of us for just dismissing it as stupid mostly because I can't even come up with a good way to make it to his hypothetical.

No, I am not scared of the question, just bored with it. It's been asked so often before that I just can't be bothered to answer it one more time.

No not scared at all.
A true atheist should have a rational mind.
He should be ready to accept the fact if it is so presented.
I am just too willing and eagerly waiting to talk to God.

Get off your high horse you muppet. Evidence is what it boils down to-nothing else. I'd become a devout worshipper of the tooth fairy if I'm provided with evidence that they exist.

I saw lots of atheists answering it - and you don't sound like an atheist.
Why would we be scared? If God was real then all the other gods would be and he'd be too busy fighting the other mythical beings to ever bother us.

The question had 17 answers before I got to it. I didnt' feel there was anything more I needed to add.
