my kids of course.
all those people who say god don't deserve to be parents. in fact, if i knew who they were i would called the children's aid on them and have the kids removed for their own safety. those people are truly sick and if their god is real, he will see how sick they are and send them to hell for it!

I can't believe this! You are fools!
I take my hat off to the lady who said her kids over her god, since he wouldn't make her choose. You seem to be a rational being in a sea of idiots.
This is the blind ignorance that makes atheists deplore religion, do you people honestly believe that, gun to your head, you'd be happy for your kids to be killed in the name of the lord because they'd be saved? NOTHING should come before your children.
Sure, god sacraficed his son who was reborn, BUT WHERE THE HELL IS HE NOW? Pretty absent don't you think!
What an unspeakable act of idiocy you people would do for your unworthy god. No god would ever make you choose.

When Christ sent his 12 to preach to the Jews in Matthew 10, in verse 37, he said to them, "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."
Even Abraham agonized over this when God asked him to sacrafice Isaac to him, yet he obeyed and was blessed for it in the end. He was promised that he would be a father of many nations.
I know that God would not ask anyone to choose, but what if someone weilding a gun and pointed it at your childs head or even your spouses head and told you that if you don't deny the existance of God then he will kill them, what would you do? A person of great faith would choose God, a person of less or no faith would choose family. We are commanded to love God first and then family. That is one of the reasons that the 10 Commandments were written the way they are. The first four are about us loving God, the last six is loving our neighbor. Yes, I would choose God over family, because I believe my family would understand my choice. I would also hope that they would in turn choose the same. And to those that proclaim paganistic or atheistic beliefs, you people seem to know very little of how important the soul is to a Christian, Jew, or Muslim. We are people of faith. It is also interesting that some of the atheist using monikers of Darwin should remember that Charles Darwin believed in a higher being (God) and did to the day he died. You need to enlighten yourself a little more on the beliefs of your heroes.

Children, unquestionably. Even if it meant that I have to go to a warmer place than the tropics(Difficult to believe such exist) I am in now.
I have a cop out. Children are divine! So, I am not really choosing.

My kid. I don't actually have a "God" that I believe in, so thats a no-brainier. I do believe that there is a Divine power that lives in everything and everyone. If you want to call that Divine power God or whatever, then in a sense I could choose both in one because my child is included in "everyone" and The Divine Power lives in everything and everyone.

My kids under any and all circumstances.
Fortunately as a Pagan and a Taoist there is no deity to make such an insane demand. Instead, the universe is there for my children to use, not vice versa.

Well, I don't have children, but even if I did I would NEVER put them before God. He is supposed to come first in the lives of those who believe in Him.
One day when large groups of people were walking along with him, Jesus turned and told them, "Anyone who comes to me but refuses to let go of father, mother, spouse, children, brothers, sisters—yes, even one's own self!—can't be my disciple. Anyone who won't shoulder his own cross and follow behind me can't be my disciple."

I would choose my God after i was Sealed to them, whic if they were my children, they would already be, then follow god and pray that my children would too. Then if i follow god until the end i will end up living with my children and my God.

when i "graduated" 6th grade (a hundred years ago) a local businessman, who was also of the mennonite faith, gave all 6th graders a glossy book of bible stories. one of them was the story of abraham and isaac. i was stunned that people just accepted that as another example of faith, and knew then that christianity was not reasonable.
it wouldn't be choice, i have kids i love with everything i have, i don't have a god.
