Nope. I'd yell at him for making the world the shitty place it is. If he's so powerful and loves us so much, why does he let people suffer? That's one of the many reasons I can't believe in god. If he's so great, why do people suffer?
Oh, and I'd kick him in the balls for watching me while I shower. God's a perv.

I am not ashamed of myself in life, why should I be ashamed of myself in death--even if your fairy tale comes true and God who you say he is?
Can you even say what's sin anymore? Is sleeping with your wife when she's on her menstrual period a sin still? Which laws did God throw out after Jesus got here? I know he said keep to the commandments, right?
That's all beside the point. If I met God a week from now, rather than changing my life, I'd probably make up a list of paradoxes that embody him to see if I can catch him in one of his own catch-22 traps and force his existence's end in a puff of logic.

Depends.
If there were a god, it would depend on which one existed and what he was like. There are thousands of different gods that people believe exist, and each of them are different. They range from benign superbeings that sit in the background and don't interfere much, to real childish bullies that will throw you in an eternal hell for the smallest of infractions of their arbitrary rules.
Since gods are all just superstitions, there's nothing real you can say about them. Anything you make up would be just as likely as any other thing. So, there is no best answer to this type of "What if" question.

If that is the case then I would not change at all for it would prove too me that yes there is a God in what ever shape or form that exists in this universe and maybe of all the other universes that we don't know about.
But known my luck that will never happen and if it ever does then God will just have to take me as I am.

Happy but penitent
The Grace of Christ heals all my shames.
I meet God every day in prayer ,Scripture, Sacraments ,Nature and other people.
I would not change anything in my life( that I have power to change). By God's grace I am striving to stop commiting sins whether or not i 'go to the Lord" next week.
St Philip Neri, while playing tennis, was asked what would he do if he knew that he would die that very day. St Phil responded that he would continue playing tennis since that was glorifying God for Phil felt that was what God wanted him to do.

Like meeting him because I'm dead or because he's coming to my house?
If he was visiting my house I'd be ashamed because it really needs cleaned...
Now to be serious... Read Psalm 33, 13-15... I came across that scripture as I was just starting to come out of the darkest point ever in my life. I trust that God loves and understand all that we do in life and that I need not have shame.

Yeah, right. I'll meet with your delusion of God right after my luncheon with Bugs Bunny.

I'd bulk up at the gym so I could punch him in the face for being such a murderous cad!

I would be thrilled to meet God. And, yes I am a sinner, and I would live my life the same up until our meeting.

every human contains God within them, so anytime I meet a person, I *am* meeting God
and I act accordingly
