Quick Question For Those Who Don't Believe God Exists. by MrAnony1(m): 11:13am On Aug 22, 2012
I'm just taking a poll: All you have to do is answer yes or no. You don't have to explain your answer.

THE QUESTION: Assuming you came to find out that God exists and you found it to true beyond every reasonable doubt such that it is common knowledge amongst everyone, will you submit to God's rule?

Please answer honestly.

Poster, They'll still not believe. truth is most of them already have 1 or more reason(s) to believe but because they have chosen to walk in the path of destruction, there is little or nothing we can do about it.

He he.
If is determined that god really exists. Then good, no problems.
As for me, common sense would tell me that where one exists,there must be others as well. Even the bible clearly and unambiguously states as such.
So it becomes a matter of which of the gods rule.

Reading the bible, I can clearly see that these so-called gods make very terrible rulers.
We humans have come a long way in running our own affairs and although we have made terrible mistakes along the way, we have made great progress.

Today We now espouse and enforced moral and ethical codes that promote fundamental human rights and dignity, far far above the moral thresholds of gods,mythical or real, of bygone eras.
It would be tragically stupid and a regression to surrender our hard won sovereignty to any god at this point in our evolution.

Infact, I think God or the gods, would probably be pleased at how much we have matured and would not display the kind of despotic tendencies that religious people have been made to expect from him/them.

So to answer the question, the answer is absolutely not.

In case one does not understand atheism, atheists are people who have achieved mental sovereignty.
I dont know any atheists that are willing and ready to surrender the power and freedom to think and question.
Democracy is here to stay.

If God appears today fro the sky and announces that he is God to everyone, of course, I will stop doubting his existence.


However, submission is a different thing. If God turns out to be the God of the bible or Quran, I will tell him to go to hell. I will tell him to f4ck off for the following reasons;

-where were you when your christian followers made slaves of my ancestors? Packing them like sardines on ships and letting them shit on each other?
-why would you troll Abraham to sacrifice his own son and could not see that Abraham was a fool to even consider the sacrifice- a good parent would beg to die in place of his son first.
-why do you like confusion, you bible confuses so many christians that there is no valid definition of christianity. "follower" of christ" is meaningless, some say christ loves tithing other say he doesnt.
-Why was your son, Jesus christ racist to the Canaanite woman?
-why do innocent teenage girls in East Africa get raped and abused while tithe preachers like Pastor Joagbaje and his daddies make millions and have good health? Why are you silent on so many evils from slavery to genocide?
-Why did you commit genocide by flooding the whole world during Noahs time? Or is that lie because science and hiistorians have proven that there is no evidence for such a flood.


God, please suck my D**k and go to hell. (hell that you did not need to create in the first place)



===================================

Erm, Anony, dont use this to say that I hate God. Unless god exists or I believe that he exists, I can not hate what doesnt exist.

It would be like saying I hate santa for asking where the hell are my presents on christmas eve?

Erhm...thanks for answering. Just to make things clear, The question doesn't assume any particular version of God or what kind of being God may be.
Basically, If you met a being who is all-powerful and all-knowing and created everything that exists including you, will you obey such a being?
I take it your answer is no.

Another quick question, if THE GREAT LEPRECHAUN were to give you the gold at the end of the rainbow, would you accept his love ;and embrace Martian as his last prophet?

Wrong question. You assume that the all powerful beings wants or needs my obedience in the first place.

A better question is that would the powerful being need my obedience and want to know my thoughts or care who i sleep with?

Basically, it asks If you met a being who is all-powerful and all-knowing and created everything that exists including you, will you obey such a being?

Now to answer your question: If it was indeed true that allah was the one true God and mohammed was indeed his prophet then I will have no problem submitting to allah.

Now over to you, would you like to answer my original question?

Thank You, Lord! Well, it's finally clear. The battle is not whether or not God exists or what His Moral Character is, but, why He gets to be God and "I" don't. Lovely. Thank you, guys. smiley

Bros na wa o...take am easy or else...... grin

Anyway, you also "clearly" went on a merry-go-round to say something that amounted to "no, I won't obey or submit to Him." No? grin

When I give a religious answer, you would say that no paricular version of god is mentioned.

Acceptance and submission are two different things. Just because I accept that something exists doesnt mean that I have to obey it.

since you want a simple answer: YES


Now i will want a simple answer to my question:

what if it has been conclusively demonstrated that God is just a religious idea (and something that people will love to believe and try to manipulate others to follow suit) and proved beyond every reasonable doubt such that it is common knowledge amongst enlightened and honest individuals that God is just a religious idea, will you stop believing in God?

No. We agree that your grouse with God's existence is that you exist too. And between the two of you, one's got to go. There can't be two Gods in the same universe and reality, no?

If it is true that God is merely an invented idea, then there will be no need believing in God. If it is true that God does not exist, I will cease to have faith in God. It is simply silly to have faith in something that is imaginary

But then, Yaweh has the same amount of evidence as the imaginary character of Zeus or Odin or Ogun.


So you are wrong.
