when you died, you stood before God, and had to give an account for your life?
This is not meant to be argumentative, just curious.

Hypothetically.... I would tell him about all the things in my life that i had accomplished that made me proud, made my family proud...... I would tell him about the happiness i've brought to others and the beauty i enjoyed on earth while i was alive.
Being the "all loving, all forgiving" god that you all claim he is.... I think he would overlook the fact that i wasn't on my knees worshipping him..... I was actually out ENJOYING the gifts of life & the beauty that the world has to offer.
But being that i know there is no god..... I needn't concern myself with such trivialities. I merely enjoy my life and try to shine on as many people as i can to help them enjoy their lives as well. The world is an amazing place.... and we only get one life to explore it's mysteries. Make the best of what you have because there won't be any heaven afterwards. As troubling as it may be for some to accept that, it's the truth. Why restrict yourself in this life in hope that there's an afterlife that probably doesn't exist?

*in the general direction of God*
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! Come on, you royally screwed up that mess down there. You give a bunch of guys nudgings to write a book and they fill it with rubbish about banning the eating of shellfish and sacrificing goats, and stoning people that work on Sunday. How much thanks and prostrating do you need anyway? If a guy needs to feed his family isn't that more important than kicking back on one day of the week. same for the rest of your stupid rules, you should have stopped counting after 10. Did you get a kick or something after 10 and then thought that all the good people not stealing or murdering should instead worry about the crops they plant next to each other?
do you even know what's going on down there? your "creations" are tearing each other apart for how you created them, your ambiguity is spilling blood and the stuff you DIDN'T say is being second guessed and killing even more. You could have done away with religion completely you sicko, but you had to be put on a pedestal didn't you? Couldn't jsut have said "here's 10 things you shouldn't do, now be nice to each other" If you're not kicking yourself for neglecting that route you should.
So you're actually surprised I didn't think that anything "intelligent" came up with these rules? you want a smidgin of respect form me you'll get up off of that chair and sort out that mess."
Hmm, on the chance we're all wrong it'd be good to get that off my chest. And it's not like an omniscient being wouldn't know I was thinking it anyway, so why not say it?

Hypothetically speaking, as a Christian, what would you feel like if...?
when you died, you stood before ZEUS and ODIN, and had to give an account for your life?

You can see how obviously ridiculous your question is.

I am an atheist. If I had to give an account for my life, I would be proud to say that I lived it to the best of my ability and that my beliefs were chosen by studying, reading, thinking and talking to others. I would also be proud to say that I contributed to society by serving in the military, working as a teacher, and offering my services as a volunteer ESL teacher in my community. Furthermore, I gave to charity, raised a wonderful daughter and was always kind to animals.
If this is not enough for God, and he requires that I spent my days on my knees thanking him for sending his own son to be murdered, then I'm happy to roast in hell. Amen.

The atheist frame of mind does not consider this hypothetical situation because the atheists do not believe that is real. So the question is moot. Apples and oranges. And no I am not atheist.

HYPOTHETICALLY :
if God created humans,he gave them logic as well.if he really is the admirable God that he is thought to be,then he should appreciate the fact that i was eager to use my logic and able to be curious and to look for answers beyond "God created it"....as a father,he should be proud that i just didn't believe whatever he said but tried to find out for myself.as a father he should love me ,even though i made a mistake regarding him.
PURELY HYPOTHETICAL lol :P

I would ask him why he screwed up the world.
If he exists, whichever god she turns out to be, he could have made his existence clear and she could have made her ethics clear. At that point people could choose to follow his ethical system or not but they would not have to choose which god or which god's ethical system to follow.
We wouldn't have to fight over whether Odin or Zeus or Baal or Yahweh or Isis or Allah or Siva or Jehovah or Mithra or whomever was the real god. We wouldn't have to worry about converting people. God would be an established fact.
Instead she left us in ignorance. He allowed multiple religions to arise. She watched them battle and did nothing. At best he seems like a total A hole.

properly, while you're conversing regarding the familiar Christian version of God, i might probable worship the super guy instead of devil. I advise, He and His Son promise eternal salvation and bliss in Heaven. devil's way leads to eternal perdition, an infinity of torment. I basically don't be conscious of how i'd desire to have confidence in Him and not have confidence in His teachings. and because His teachings are distinctly sparkling regarding the implications for no longer worshipping Him, it would be a no-brainer.

I've always tried to be the best person I could, and do my best in life. I love freely, protect the innocent, work hard, and try to be nice to people even if I don't particularly like them. I've made a lot of good decisions and have made a fine life. I believe in compassion for my fellow man and in personal responsibility.
Oh yeah, and I think too highly of IT to believe what his worshippers say about 'him'.

which god?
i'll assume you mean the christian god.
Account for my life? I would say i have lived a good and moral life.
And that according to those morals. He is a egotistical, evil deity that plays games with the human race as well as commiting genocide and should probably go to hell.
