Atheist,if you could have a face to fact talk with God...?

Question

1.What would you want to talk to Him about?

2.Would you say any of the negative stuff to Him that you tell to people?

3.What would be the main thing you would want to know before the conversation ends&God departs from you?

Oops,sorry that should say face to face,not face to fact.

Answer 1

"Oops,sorry that should say face to face,not face to fact."

That's for sure.

Answer 2

First of all, simply define God as the One, if He exists, who created you. Forget anything else you think you might know about God and just go with that.

Being an atheist doesn't mean that you're 100% sure that the One who created you doesn't exist. No one knows that for sure. The atheist simply says that the probability is such that he/she will live a life without reference to God. Bertrand Russell, the famous atheist, was once asked what he would say to God if he found himself face to face with God. Russell didn't hesitate, he had a defense: "Sir, you haven't given sufficient evidence of your existence" (may not be a direct quote, but close).

I think this is what atheists are doing here on YA. Building their case just in case God does exist and there is a judgment day.

Back to Russell. I think God will say, "Bertrand, if you wanted me, you would sought me even not knowing for sure whether I exist". "You followed your deepest desire which was to be independent of Me and apart from me" "Now I will grant your desire".

Answer 3

Well, I am Not an athiest, however I am a Pagan.

If I in fact, found myself face to face with a christian God, that Actually was wanting to talk to me, I think I would convert!

Then again, you are asking this question to the wrong group of people--Athiests, would not believe that such a thing would ever happen- - - and its somewhat unbelievable for us Pagans as well. . . .

Answer 4

That would mean that I died and I was wrong about God. I wouldn't apologize for a single part of my life, by the way.

1.) I'd want to talk to him about organized religion in general. Is the **** that gets carried out in his name really his intention? How powerful is he really?

2.) Absolutely. If he's truly omnipotent, then he already knows everything I've ever done.

3.) How much influence have you ever had over anything and how do you decide when and how to intervene in our affairs?

Answer 5

Maurice, for the sake of argument I'll pretend that there is a god. Otherwise I'd have to talk to myself.

I'd ask your god why he is so cruel to his creations. Why he allows disease, tsunamis, poverty, murder, rape, prejudice, etc. Is he all powerful or not? If he is, he can easily stop those things. He must simply choose not to. If he is not all powerful, he's not much of a god then is he?

And yes, I would be negative. I am not afraid of your god. He will, in his infinite love and mercy, burn me for all of eternity anyhow so it wouldn't much matter what I said, would it?

The main thing I'd want to know is why he bothered to create humans if he simply intended for their lives to be full of pain and misery. If that was not his intention, why doesn't he fix it?

Answer 6

1.) I would start with a simple, yes-or-no question: "Does faith in the sacrifice of Jesus guarantee eternal life in heaven?"

If "no", then nothing he has to say makes any difference to me, anyway.

If "yes", I would ask him to kindly let me speak for a few minutes with someone currently enjoying eternal life in heaven (say, my grandmother), to verify that yes, it was faith alone that got her there.

2.) It's not "negative stuff" to simply observe that you have no direct evidence to back up any of the claims to the supernatural that your religion espouses. It's simply healthy skepticism -- more people should try it.

3.) Apart from my first question, I would want to know why, if it's so important to him that we get things right in this life, would he not take the time and make the effort to explain himself to each individual personally, with the sort of insight ans wisdom that could only come from an infinitely intelligent being. What, are you saying an infinite being might somehow be short on time?

Answer 7

I'm not atheist, but I'm not Christian, either.

I would ask him how much of the Bible is true about him.
He'd probably say not much.
I would ask him if he was the only god.
He'd probably say no.
I'd ask him if he created the universe.
I doubt he'd say yes.
I'd ask him what created the universe.
He'd give us the peice of the puzzle we were missing.
I would spread the word around. Some would doubt, some would beleive. Some would try and put me in a mental institution. But when I showed them the missing link, they would realize I was perfectly sane.

Answer 8

1. "i could do a better job at being 'god'"
2. i don't say anything negative to him, i say negative things about people who believe in imaginary, made up things and think it's real.
3. what time is dinner

Answer 9

First off, we don't say anything negative about god. He is fictional being. It is like you saying bad things about a movie character. Since he doesn't exist, there would be nothing to talk too, let alone trying to pick a subject to talk about.
I have no problem with you having imaginary friends, just don't try to get me to "find" him too.

Answer 10

Well, first off, if I could be introduced to and speak with a god, I would immediately cease being an atheist at that moment, provided I was convinced it was a god.

Then I would give it a bible, so it could be aware of all the vicious rumors being spread about it by believers.

Answer 11

Being an Athiest means that they do not believe in God, therefore could not imagine a conversation with something that does not exist.
