Or rather, when asked why you didn't believe IN HIM? Will you tell him that you worshiped Yahweh, that you were sure that the Judeo-Christian deity was real and that you felt your faith had been wisely placed?
How will you convince him to let you into Tlillan-Tlapallan, Middle Heaven, the Land of the Black and Red (those colors signify wisdom)? It is a paradise only for those who successfully follow the teachings of Quetzalcoatl. Why shouldn't he deny you entry?
Why should he not send you instead to Mictlan, the lowest of the 9 Underworlds? Mictlan is an arid desert where spirits shift aimlessly about in eternal tedium. There they must forever endure this unending monotony, separate from Quetzalcoatl and his wisdom. Would you not deserve this fate for failing to follow Quetzalcoatl? Will you doom yourself to it even now, having heard the truth?

I would ask the feathered serpent God for His forgiveness, prostrating myself on the ground before Him, explaining that I could not pronounce His name correctly and instead used a couple of other names that seemed to work pretty well around my tongue at the time. I would tell Him, "Hey -- you heard all that I was saying -- Fusionism INCLUDED you! Come on, have a heart! Show some mercy! I beg you to forgive me as I repent before you!"
Which is what anyone would say to any God they meet when they finally realize which one (if any) is the RIGHT one, which name is the RIGHT one, which path gets you there FIRST.

I am always surprised that anyone has any certainty about anything. I would be an atheist but there are so many weird happenings that I am an agnostic. At the time when the writers of the early books of the Old Testament were written they believed that the sky was a solid arc over their heads like one of those little novelties where it snows when you shake them and that the world was flat. Yes, perhaps Quetzalcoatl is God. Perhaps I am dreaming all of you. I know what you are saying but perhaps The God (if such a spirit exists) found that the image of Quetzalcoatl was the only way to reach those South American tribes.

I'd say this T guy was the "Morning Star" predecessor to Jesus
In Aztec mythology, Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli ("lord of the star of the dawn"; also spelled "Tlahuizcalpantecutli" or "Tlahuixcalpantecuhtli") was the personification of the morning star, which is the planet Venus as seen in the morning. His brother Xolotl was the planet Venus as the evening star. Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli was a manifestation of Quetzalcoatl.

Hello,
I would tell him:
1) That I was born into another religion that threatened you with fire and brimstone if you changed.
2) Why did he let the God of Spain knock his people down like bowling pins after all the sacrifices they did. Was he relieving himself like the god Baal vs Elijah when Spain trounced all over his people.
3) I have always promoted Mexican culture and took time to study him and teach others of pre-Columbian Mexico. Did not recieve any divine inspiration from him to make me change my mind.
Cheers,
Michael

Wow that's convinced me, I now accept Q-the winged serpent as my personal saviour! He's got a much better movie anyway, starring Grasshopper from Kung Fu, David Carradine, hubba, hubba, what a stud-muffin! Who utters the immortal line "How many monsters were once worshipped as Gods?". Reminds me of all the world leaders.

Whoever is at the gate, I'm falling on my knees and begging to be let in. By the way, here's a star for your question.

Interesting.
In this gedanken-experiment, I'd just have to say that I chose the softer, gentler god who spoke to me in my heart when I called out to Him.
Plus I did not like the feathered-snake getup. Way too old-school 11th century stuff. Q needs to update his look.

I'll blame the Spanish Conquistadores for destroying all of the records that could have backed up such a claim. If he knew they were coming, why didn't he STOP THEM??? Besides, how different can his teachings be from YHWH's? Truth is truth, after all, right?

What makes you think I don't believe in Quetzalcoatl?
