I would not worship or follow him, no, but I got a list of shit in the world that needs work if he really wants to try and help
Yeah, but if the choice is between worshipping an insecure, petty, and cruel God or having to deal with rivers turning to blood, swarms of locusts, and continent-sized floods I'll worship god.If the old testament god proved its existence, no life should worship or even like it. It would be a demonic, hellish being.
How do you know he didn't? Were you alive for the last 2000 years?A better way to think of this is that the christian god could have removed all doubt and revealed itself at some point during the last 2000 years, eliminating atheism entirely AND preventing any number of religious conflicts across the globe.
So...why didn't it?
It's sorta like if a long standing story about a ufo or bigfoot turns out to be undeniably false some will still say it's true no matter how many facts smack them in the face.
But that all-knowing god would know you're doing it wrongly and punish you too. Only the brutal worshipers that carried out his bloodlust would carry its favor.Yeah, but if the choice is between worshipping an insecure, petty, and cruel God or having to deal with rivers turning to blood, swarms of locusts, and continent-sized floods I'll worship god.
He'll confirm it during his Reddit IAMA.How would we confirm that it was truly the Christian God and not some being trying to trick us?

God is omnipotent right? So he would be at Palestine or SyriaFirst thing I do if I meet god is flipping the bird at him and telling him to take his ass to Palestine or Syria before he even thinks about getting mad at me.
That's "omnipresent".
Do they really exist, or is it just popular consensus that they exist? Is the past a place you can walk to and visit, if not, where do they exist except inside memory?No one denies Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, the Great Pyramids,
Tell that to the antivaxxers.
I guess even if God literally reveals himself, you still gotta have faith-a-faith-a-faith.How would we confirm that it was truly the Christian God and not some being trying to trick us?

That pretty much sums up my thoughts. If a divine being was real, they would be unworthy of our worship.A lot of atheists would hate him for all the pain and suffering he's caused, so no I don't think they'd be that eager to follow him.

I do think it's been tampered withWhy would any objective observer accept the bible as true? It's literally the worst way to try to convey information you could think of.
First, you make the assumption that everyone in the world has had a classical American education. I guarantee you most people in China have little to no idea who Lincoln is, just like you don't know how many dynasties there were in Chinese history. So that's immediately ~1 billion people out of 7 billion who wouldn't be sure of the existence of Lincoln.This is a distinction without a difference for the purpose of this thread. There is enough proof that 99.999999% of sane people agree that these things exist and don't debate the issue. This is not the case for the christian god or ANY god.

I have read the Bible and in the biblical days when he would perform miracles and prove his existence there were still non believers.
Would any atheist on here change the way they live because he exist or would you challenge what he believes is how we are suppose to live our lives
If God showed up tomorrow and demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was all real,
I do think it's been tampered with
Just speaking on God and whether he exist or not it's one of many sources that I think should be noted but not the only one
