If you were God, what kind of God would you be?

I would be the kind of God that made universes in which you could take the following photograph: I'd make Bertrand Russel my prophet.

I wonder why you are asking us this question when the answer has been staring you in the face from the moment you began to read the Bible. The God of the Bible, or any other god for that matter, is the product of people through the ages seriously trying to consider what it would be like to be God. They wrote down that God made them in his image, but in reality it's the other way round: they made God in their image. The God of the Bible is a mischievous, jealous, bloodthirsty petty tyrant. Almost human, actually. But he has superpowers. That's the part where people went: "If I were God, I'd be just like me, but I'd have these awesome powers." That's nice for comic books, but to take it seriously is pathetic.Anyway, to answer your question once more: I would be a God who shouted from the heavens to humanity: "Grow up!", and then I'd vanish forever.

If you'd read what I said a little more carefully, you'd understand that I think the God of the Bible is a product of people's wishful thinking, and actually says more about human character than about God's. I don't judge, I observe. It is precisely because I know I am a fallible human being, and know myself and other human beings to be equally prone to all those vices you mention, that I think the Biblical description of God reflects exactly that. Yes, I think it most definitely will. And you'd be inhuman if, deep down, you didn't think the same.

That was one of my first attempts. But then I thought it was too crude, hardly real evidence of my existence. I reasoned that if you need such arbitrary lines to see the form, it would not convince anybody. Hence my renewed attempt.

Mike, please stop preaching and pay attention to what other people actually say. I am not going to repeat endlessly what I wrote before. You go back and read it again, then reply with an appropriate answer. Until you do so, I am going to ignore you.

Do not rape Suzy.Do not rape anyone. Rape is a despicable act of moral depravity. Only sexual perverts and religious nuts rape women. The first because they want to, and they don't listen to anyone who tells them it's wrong; the second because they want to and think there's a God who tells them it's OK.Please, do not rape Suzy.Parasomnium, atheist.
