I would say. I am a better person. You have shown it yourself already. Your preachers on Earth encourage unquestioning faith, yet you do not tell us whether that is what you want. You give people no rational basis for belief, and then when they make up their own that is not good enough for you. You listen to our prayers, yet do not answer, leaving people to rationalise events for themselves. People kill and slaughter over trivial differences in doctrine, and you look on. In the churches and temples raised in your glory, children are mentally and physically abused - in your so-called House! All over the world, throughout history, people have murdered each other for believing the wrong thing about God, for believing in the wrong God, or for not believing in any God. The poorest and most helpless people are relentlessly targeted, being told to give what little they have now, for the promise of eternal bliss later. When a person is at his lowest ebb, that is when the smiling missionaries appear, knowing that his life will probably get better naturally and they can give you the credit. In your name, the ends justify the means as long as souls are saved
"And you? All-powerful, all-loving, all-knowing? You just sit here and you watch it all... Any person , had they your power, would show greater compassion and morality. You may be God, but you are far from Godliness

I'm sick of Pascal's Wager.
There is NO chance there is a 'god' who has an interest in human affairs.
Look at the chaos around you - good things happening to bad people - bad things happening to good people ... look at the tsunamis and hurricanes, mentally and physically deformed children – thousands and millions of innocent children punished for what?
“The gods can either take away evil from the world and will not, or, being willing to do so cannot; or they neither can nor will, or lastly, they are able and willing.
If they have the will to remove evil and cannot, then they are not omnipotent. If they can but will not, then they are not benevolent.
If they are neither able nor willing, they are neither omnipotent nor benevolent.
Lastly, if they are both able and willing to annihilate evil, why does it exist? ” -Greek philosopher Epicurus (341-270 BC)

Ask him why he didn't provide any valid evidence if he truly wanted people to believe. I'm not a slavish adherent, I just won't believe in something without a good reason.

I wouldn't live my life any differently. Finding out that there is a god would not change the way that I live my life because I live it for me and my own spirituality. If there is a god, good for you but I will continue to believe in myself and my abilities over anyone or anything else.

Shhhh. Atheism is God's plan to keep from over populating heaven.

I sometimes smile when I see questions like this. I also wonder, if an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omni-benevolent, perfect being learned that I don't believe he exist...well what will it do?
He's already perfect isn't he? So why will he be so pissed off if I didn't believe he exist in the first place?

*sighs* Do you think you're the first to ask this question?
Here's a shocker for you... if your god is as great as you say he is, then he'd forgive without even having to be asked to do so because thats what a loving being does, if he throws me into hell anyway, then I'd rather be in hell with the rest of my family than with your hateful selfish egomaniacle god anyway.
Besides, even if a god existed, if he was the Christian god, I wouldn't worship the jerk anyway.

Well, by the point we know that God exists, half of the world's population will be burning in massive columns of flame, or turned into salt, so I guess I would have already thoroughly crapped myself....

thats like asking what if Harry Potter turned out to be real, or what if Superman flew through your window.
There is a difference between reality and fantasy. Sadly, it seem you are incapable of determining that (hint - magic zombies and talking mules are fantasy).

Nothing different. It wouldn't bother me if there were gods. There's just no reason to believe that they exist. I would NEVER be a Christian, even if their God did exist.
