Please take the inquiry seriously. I'm guessing you believe there's an off-topic agenda behind John 10:10's inquiry, but please wait for that to be demonstrated, and then let the moderators handle it. Thanks.

Re: If you were God, what kind of God would you be?
Hi John 10:10,
I think what people are telling you is that they can't see how this is a serious question. I think they do understand that for you the God of the Bible is a reality, but they seem bemused that you don't understand that for them no God is a reality, and especially not the God of the Bible.
Modulous's Message 17 seemed helpful in making this clear. In a way your question to atheists is akin to asking, "What kind of leprechaun would you be if you could be a leprechaun?"
Perhaps what you're truly seeking to understand is how the Christian God who has so much reality in your own life could not even receive a passing thought in the lives of others. Anyway, feel free to try to modify your questions to better explore what it is you want to know.

Peg, how are you holding up?
Hi Peg,
Some of the responses to you could be interpreted as purposefully offensive, and it would be reasonable to make a moderator request that responses not be sexually explicit, but only if it matters to you. Please let me know by responding here.
To everyone else,
Some here are, in effect, turning up the volume because it feels like Peg has her head buried in the sand and isn't listening, but please keep things within reasonable bounds. Thanks.
