The Results are in...There is a God! - What now?

It pretty much depends on the nature of this god. If the god isn't much concerned about humanity, or allows people to be who they are, then all that would happen in my case is that I recognize that a god exists, but since very little in my life depends on the existence or non-existence of a god, not much else would change.If this god, however, demanded obedience and punished disobedience then I suppose that I would be forced to obey -- especially if the god had the power to exact punishment. How obedient I would actually be would depend on how severe the punishment would be for disobedience and how aware this god was of my actions.Now if the Christian fundamentalists are correct, and this god actually demands my love and trust, then I would be in trouble -- love and trust are things that are earned, not given, and if this god didn't behave in a manner I found worthy of love and trust, then I would be unable to love or trust it, and so would end up damned for eternity.

I'm saying that most of us have very little control over who we love and trust. You cannot make someone love you, nor, if you are like most, can you just decide that you will love a particular person. If a god demands that I love it, then I am in big trouble since I cannot just decide that I am going to love it.

Thanks. If my comments, opinions, and observations weren't interesting to anyone else, there would be no point of my posting, eh?
