If Christians end up being right when all is said and done, who will you turn your anger, annoyance toward, when it can't be Christians anymore because they tried to encourage you to know God? How will you feel, knowing you dismissed the idea entirely, when perhaps you should have remained open, so that God could have an IN, and you shut Him out.
I want answers to the question, NOT...things like "Well that won't happen because there is no fairy tale God"... This question is stating , if there IS a God.
Thanks in advance for your replies! =)

You need to LOSE the assumpsions as to what I believe, I merely asked a Q regardling What IF... my next Q, might be one directed at the Christians about what f evolutionist ARE correct. Stop all the silly petiness. All my Q's on here are part of collecting info for a project. I make claims to nothing.

LOL why do people get so defensive when asked a hypothetical Q? No one is pathetic, she's inquisitive and that's a GOOD thing! No need to be rude, in a response. She's making no claim to anything.
I guess in general there would be just allot of surprised people around. Maybe even shocked.
Good Q!! Good luck with your project.

If pigs had wings our cars would be equipped with poop-sheilds and turbo washer fluid.
O.K. my real answer is....my mind has been open for a long time, as are most of the other atheists I've talked to. If god exists, there should be no reason for him not to reveal his presence to us, even just a small gesture would be appreciated. But, it would have to be unmistakeable as anything else. And, once more for the record, in my teenage years I did the fleece test as described in the bible. You know, you lay out a fleece and ask god to make the fleece wet and the ground around it dry, then vice versa in order to find out an answer to an important question. It didn't work at all. So, I'm left with two possible reasons for this...1. God has no desire to talk to a young person who believed in him and needed an answer to an important question. or 2. God doesn't exist and my attempts to communicate with him were and excersize in futility. What sounds more plausable?

No one...because in general I'm not an angry person. I personally wonder what will happen if Christians are not right, as they seem to be the angry ones. I don't hang out in the religion section of Yahoo Answers, but I'd be willing to bet that gay people don't go there to ask offensive questions half as often as "Christians" come here to ask offensive questions. We're not angry - as a matter of fact go refer to Webster's definition of gay - just the opposite.

We get angry when we aren't treated equally, we get angry when people assume that we've chosen this path in life, we get angry when we're denied the same rights as everyone else. We're human and no different than you or anyone else and deserve the same treatment. Mutual respect is all we're asking for.

We don't get angry because you don't understand, we don't get angry because you believe that we're wrong. The great thing about gay people is that we've been dealing with this for centuries - and we've got a thick skin. Nothing you can say or do is going to change who we are...we've accepted that, can you???

First off, There is a God. Now for your first question you can turn your anger and annoyance to anyone no matter if they are right or wrong. Now for your second question.
How you will feel depends on you. Every one should try to get to know God but it is really up to them. I hope that answers your question.

strikes me as a philosophical paradox. If the Christian god is a loving all knowing god then he would know in my heart that I am open to him and would not abandon me. As a agnostic I profess to not have sufficient information as a limited being to answer a question like whether god exists and if so which one. So if I remain open to this god who has as his only entrance requirement to eternal life that I accept him, then shouldn't this god present himself to me in a manner that my mind can understand.

God is the all powerful omnipresent loving one -I am a mere feeble human. It should be easy for him to speak to me in a way I understand. So far though - no message received.

If there is a God, then there is one. I myself won't be angry because " why didn't God make my life better". People make choices that affect there lives, Christians do this just like anybody else. People can believe has hard as they want to, but if you decide to work in a shoe store like Al Bundy, get someone pregnant and have everything come hard for you. That's not God, that's all you.

Well since you make claims to nothing you will recieve
nothing . What a empty life !! full of torment and hopelessness . But since you state that Christian's will be
right !! you will be directing your anger among everybody else who rejected God , at God on your way to Hell .....
But I hope before your life ends which could be today , tomorrow , next week , maybe longer , that God Blesses
you with His Saving Grace and Truth , Amen ......

Ok, here it is.

I will direct my anger towards God. I will ask him why he sent a message with so many inconsistencies, why he hid his existence from mankind for thousands of years.

I will ask him why he created Lucifer, knowing that his creation would cause me and millions and millions and millions of other humans to burn in torturous pain for ever.

I will ask him why he allowed a woman named Eve without any knowledge of good or evil to be deceived, putting her in a position that forced her to make a moral call without the ability to know right from wrong. When the results of that one bad decision would mean eternal torture at the hand of God.

I will ask him why he chose not to reveal his will in a meaningful way to a majority of mankind, and why he allowed multiple religions to exist, causing millions of people to go to hell because a single person was more charismatic than another.

I will also ask him why he thought the the creation of disease, starvation, torture, genocide and deformity would be a great way to show people what life without God was like. Why he chose to punish innocents as a way to make a point and ultimately how he can live with the knowledge that he set this whole thin up from the beginning, being the creator of all things including Lucifer.

Not going to happen though as he doesn't exist.

I'm open to the possibility of anything. Based upon what you've said in your question, I can guarantee you would be much more shocked if the Apocalypse was meted out in a fashion prescribed by Islam or perhaps an old Aztec belief. I would consider any kind of miraculous end to the earth to be equally as incredible. What would a person like you, who refuses to be open to the possibility of being wrong about her own beliefs do if she in fact is.

If there is a God, then I would rather go Hell for not believing and being a sinner than go to Heaven with the people who discriminated against me for not being a Christian among other things.

Honestly, if all that cult-******** is real, then I don't think Hell would be all that bad. At least I'd be among friends.
