If it happened to be the God the Christians follow then yeah I would still defy him. I would believe he was there, but I wouldn't follow him. Why? Because he hasn't done anything good as far as I know (besides creating life and seeing as how that turned out I am not sure that was a good thing). He killed thousands of people, order the deaths of millions more and lets humans suffer and die. The most horrible things imaginable have been done in his name and some of the worst people that ever lived said they lived for him. Why on earth would I follow that. Honestly I would rather burn in hell for eternity then worship a monster.
If it was some other God though or if he was unlike how the Christians describe him (which I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case considering the origins of the bible), well you never know then. Maybe I would.

Why would you assume that someone living the life they choose automatically means they're defying "God"? What if the life someone chooses is a very good life?
My life wouldn't change if I became a believer, and I don't think I would be defying God by that, either.

it particularly is not any doubt between the biggest questions in our lives and this puzzle, as you place it, would have 2 consequences. One... You supply up asking questions and settle for 'good adequate' it particularly is what maximum persons do. 2... this could reason you to proceed to invite greater questions and 'good adequate' is unquestionably no longer adequate. countless the Atheists that are at right here will propose that something non secular is absurd and faith is basically yet another variety of lack of awareness and definitely for the main area they are superb. although, there is greater additionally they omit provided that at a similar time because it particularly is genuine that believing in despite has been offered formerly you, without question, is absurd so is 'no longer' believing in something in any respect. the two are cop outs. To me... If God grew to become into going to place in writing a unmarried e book to lead us it does not be so cryptic, inconsistent and function huge sections committed in letting us be responsive to who grew to become into the daddy of whom while that's no longer important to everybody. To me... i could sense that it may be like an epic poem and the genius of his introduction could be so glaring that there could be no question. although, we've some thing it particularly is so of course a introduction of guy and our shortcomings that basically faith has the capability to blind human beings into believing some thing that could ideally be skipped over thoroughly as absurd. each and every thing isn't based on the bible. Why could you assert that? based upon what good judgment? in the link stated under there's a evaluate the archives for Christianity that would pastime you which ones won't grant you with solutions yet maybe new questions. The bible isn't at each and every of the soul source of actuality nor innovations approximately introduction or a author and in case you nevertheless ask questions and not settle for 'good adequate' you will quickly discover that the certainty which you seek for is achievable to embody however the solutions won't be what you prefer to pay attention or may even pay attention suitable now. good success

Living my life in the moral and ethical fashion that I do defies no man or god. Even without a god, it's easy to be a kind person. Try it.

I would live the life I choose. Isn't that why god put us here? To live. I would acknowledge him but I wouldn't worship.
This is of course a complete fantasy. It's comparable to saying what would you do if Spider-Man was real.

Men does want to follow God...but some are just too weak to resist bait & temptations from satan who is opportunistics enough to snatch God citizens to their own destructions.
This is where help from strong God believers & faithfuls are needed.
Help to witness by practical living, teach God`s idealism, promised and rewards.
Help in prayers for their strength to go against evil advocacy, God`s Holy Spirit influenced in knowing the truth and which pathway to follow.
...if everyone could just help...these hopeless beings.
God Bless !!!

Of course people would follow the God religion if it were proven true. Some might protest God's reign and actions, but they would still believe in him. Surely no one is stupid enough to just say "Screw that God guy who's going to make me burn in hell for eternity just for saying this." Like I said, they may protest, but not just decide to not follow the religion with no purpose.

Churches are filled with people who execute Christ everyday, and then use the world to defend their actions.
“What you do for the least of these, you do for me,” means we love people like they were Jesus. And still good “Christians” support wars, executions and killing in the name of God or Government.
Everyday, people who believe in, and think they follow, God, nail him to a cross over and over.
Christian Churches are filled with people who believe beyond a shadow of a doubt, and they still walk around with a pocket-full of nails.

I'm not sure, as if there was overwhelming proof for God, then there would be much that he would have to explain such as ignoring the majority of humanity for thousands of years, essentially condeming them with out a chance or even punishing the whole of humanity for Adam and Eve's mistake, not to mention why being naked wasn't wrong until they knew it was wrong....

If beyond any doubt in my eyes? Most likely.
But he'd need to bring me 2 forms of ID, 50 million in small unmarked bills, a harem, and some Taco Bell. Then I'd believe it.
