In the spirit of the song 'Hell Yeah' by The Bloodhound Gang, i thought it would be interesting or rather fun to do a thread in the same vein.

Heres a link to the lyrics and one to the for those of you who dont know it.

Disclaimer - It will probably offend christians, so i would advise listening to it and i do endorse it. :tup:

So the aim of the thread it to share what you would do if you were God, i guess its the same idea as "Room 101" (but reversed) if anyone has seen the tv program (based on 1984). Can be funny, serious, world peace if thats what gets you going. I have seen threads like this on other forums and i dont know if one has been put on here before, thought it would be interesting as religion is such a hot topic on here, if not, then let it fall into oblivion. :snoop:

If i were god i would proove i exist.

If i were god i would ride a solid gold Harley Davidson.

If I were God, I would align some stars on the sky so it reads:
"You talkin' to me?!"

That would surely answer all the prayers.

I would be and I wouldn't be at the same time. And then I'd illuminate Martin that human logic doesn't apply to me.
That's the ultimate capitulation though. The only way god can get his claws in you is to appeal to his twisted sense of logic and convince you, by hook or by crook, that it makes sense. "Look, you do good, you go to heaven. You do bad, you go to hell." Without that leg to stand on there is absolutely no reason anyone would listen to his insane rambling, you can't make any sense of it anyway.

If I were god I'd smite a hell of a lot of people, I'm talking billions here, all the christians Jew Muslims Hindus etc. because they paid homage to false god(s) instead of me.

So in essence, the only ones that would be left are the ones that don't believe in me:eyebrows:

Also I'd create a giant mountain and carve two commandments
1. Thou shallt not be an asshole
2.Thou shalt not support Inter

The I geuss i'd repopulate the orangutans and give them loads of bannas,

probablly just chil after that :tup:

If I were god I would kill myself for causing the suffering and death of so many of those little critters I love. Sorry about that Tsunami, I got drunk that night..

No it's not.I just negated that common 'proof' against God's almightiness: 'look, if God is almighty then why can't he create a stone so heavy that even he can't lift it' or this one yours, as we both know, about that He can't stop being, which imply that God can't be almighty, which is the sense to believe in Him, so he doesn' exist. But no one, who use this argumentation, ever explained why he make the assumpion about human logic being applied to Him. If he's almighty then there a simple mistake in the assumpion which makes the whole reasoning wrong. But I'm sure atheists can do better:p
While your reply doesn't really conntotate with it, human is given a logic and a choice, why imply that God uses the same criteria do human and to himself? He's almighty, isn't He? And that's the point of faith exactly to trust when there no proof that something exists.

I hate posting while I'm surfing the net on pocketPC, so I probably won't do it for a longer while.

Let's work on your assumption. Logic doesn't apply to god.

Now let's ask some relevant questions:
1. Does god exist? - No answer possible, the concept of existence is based on human logic.
2. Is god almighty? - The question is meaningless because it's impossible to define so much as the existence of god.
3. What is god? - The question is meaningless. The concept of god is not defined and cannot be grasped by human logic.
4. Will god reward me for being good? - No answer possible, the concepts of good and reward are based on human logic.

Now religion claims to answer all of these questions. So clearly logic is extremely necessary for religion.

So, only briefly:
1. Well, you can't logically *prove* God exists, neither that he doesn't. Religion (there are plenty of them, did you study every one?) doesn't have antything to do with it, you don't have to follow a specific religion in order to be able to believe in God. And you can believe in Him or not. While the concept of existance apply to what applies to human reality, which God is beyond of.
2. Still, it's the matter of faith. If you believe in God, you believe he's almighty, because that's what being a God is about. If you don't believe in god, then the question about his almightiness is unnecessary.
3. If nobody can prove if God exists or not, how anyone would comprehend who God is? He's what you believe him to be, if you believe in Him, if not - the question is unnecessary.
4. I already answered it in my previous post. You don't have to describe God with logic, at least for that you simply can't if you believe he's almighty, and a reward term is where you should refer to following a religion being not a necessary condition to believe in God's existance. You confuse it a lot, Martin.

Now I kindly disappear;)

These two statements are mutually contradictory. To say that you believe in something that has no definition and is beyond logic is pure nonsense. In order to believe in something you must at least have some idea of what it is you believe in. And if this thing you believe in does not exist or the question of existence cannot even be meaningfully asked, the the whole thing is meaningless. Now if god is beyond logic, then he cannot be conceived and therefore to say "I believe in god" has the same content as to say "I believe in X".

2. Still, it's the matter of faith. If you believe in God, you believe he's almighty, because that's what being a God is about. If you don't believe in god, then the question about his almightiness is unnecessary.
If god is beyond logic then you cannot apply a property like "almighty" to him. The concept of almighty is based on human logic, remember? You just said yourself that you cannot claim logic applies to god. Therefore, neither does "almighty".

3. If nobody can prove if God exists or not, how anyone would comprehend who God is? He's what you believe him to be, if you believe in Him, if not - the question is unnecessary.
You cannot believe in something that is beyond logic. Belief is a logical condition. You cannot believe in something that is impossible, for example "a square circle", and you cannot believe in something that isn't defined. For something to be believed, it has to be logical.

4. I already answered it in my previous post. You don't have to describe God with logic, at least for that you simply can't if you believe he's almighty, and a reward term is where you should refer to following a religion being not a necessary condition to believe in God's existance.

"Incomprehensible" and "logical" are mutually exclusive. And the fact that people believe in god is not explained by the fact that they find it logical. They believe despite it being completely illogical, and the belief is based on an emotional need, not an intellectual understanding.
