What if, one day it turned out that the evidence all pointed to the existence of a supreme deity; responsible for the creation and maintenance of our reality?
I would not change a thing except I would be very interested in knowing how this was accomplished. I would also want to get to know this being.
How would you feel?
I would feel confused and want to know why the problems in the world exist if such a being could have stopped them from starting in the first place....among other questions that I would have.
What would you do?
Unless he had a very good reason that he would then explain, I would suggest that he be brought up on negligence charges.
Would it, in fact, have any bearing at all on the way you lived your life?
Not at all, except that I would be reading more books on the subject of him (that is of course once we determined that he is the only, true almighty God).
If God is in control, is that the sort of God you would want to worship?
No, not worship. I am married and while my wife is obviously in control of my life, I do not worship her ...much...
I cannot fathom the act of worship, because it means submitting to someone or something, and I cannot imagine doing that.
Should God actually be worshipped at all?
No; nor should this God become enraged if he is not worshipped. Wouldn't that be an indication that he is insecure and needs the affection and devotion of others in order to feel better about himself?
