I don't think your negative opinion of him would matter to him.

As for me, I would probably skip the asking of questions. Jeudo-Xian god's track record of telling the truth is rather shoddy.
Ok. I'll give you a straight answer First I'll tell you how I would feel.

I'd feel very, very,very dissappointed. I wouldn't feel stupid,I wouldn't feel duped, I wouldn't cringe around atheists,worried about hearing " I told ya so suckers". I wouldn't feel any shame.

I would feel like I lost my biggest fan and the love of my life. I'd mourn that loss for the rest of my life.


How would it change my life? I'd still treat people the way the God I thought existed wanted me to, simply because it just feels good to BE good and life is so much more pleasant when everyone feels repected. .

Also, since there hypothetically is no God, I could just once flip the middle finger at my a-hole neighbour

What would you do? How would it change your life?
I am a pantheist. We believe ALL Deities to exist, and ALL Deities created by man, including Jehovah, and that there are no "creator gods".

So, if someone where to "prove" the existance of Jehovah, that would also prove the existance of my Deities to other people as well.

So you're saying that you would treat people the same, god or no god? Well then, can you answer this: If you, as you said, would treat people the same as you do, why do you need god? What does believe in god give you that you don't already "naturally" have?


In any case, you can flip your neighbor, i dare ya!! LOL

Some people think that no morality exists without their god...

Ignoring for the moment that morality is a human invention, and has been around for tens of thousands of years.

If God was proven to be true ( which He is) I will have lost nothing and gained everything.

If God was proven to be false, I will still have lost nothing because I have a fantastic life with God and have no regrets.

"If God was proven to be true ( which He is)"

Interesting, and which proof would that be?
