To all atheists.......

And before I start no I am not a religious person trying to disprove atheists as I myself am one but the topic is about God. So now, hypothetically if God did exist and he made himself apparent to us all would you throw away all your previous convictions and worship him, because when I asked a friend this he said definitely which shocked me because I don't think I could. I mean I could acknowledge he was real because I base my opinion on what I see, but I still could not worship him, I believe no being be it human or God deserves any type of worship plus from what I've heard about God he preaches love and forgiveness but if you cross him oh boy you'd better watch out.

So what would you do?

If God appeared before me and proved his existance, I'd worship him.jointed

I would as well, and then give him a high five

If this happened I would simply acknowledge that he is real, but I still wouldn't worship him. My life is my own, not his.Shenmue_Jehuty

Depends on what you mean by "god". The Christian god?

And I do reject the definition of "worshiping" many people abide by and I wouldn't worship him like that.

Yes, if it were proven and he also showed himself I would believe. Kind of like Santa.

I am an atheist due to a lack of evidence. If I were to find evidence that proved the existence of God, not requiring faith, then of course I would worship him/her/it. Most people who are misinformed about atheism tend to think that most atheists are convinced there is no God and like theists, are unwilling to accept the possibility. For the most part, this is untrue. Plenty of atheists, given the proper evidence, would be the first to convert to whichever religion becomes "right." It is the inherent quality of having an objective, rational and scientific outlook. foxhound_fox

Yep the christian God.

But that's just my opinion.

For me, I abandoned worship before belief, more or less due to the problem of evil. So the existence of God would not be sufficient to make me worship Him.xaos

My position is more inclined towards the "any" deities existence, not just the Judeo-Christian God. If an all-powerful being proves to me that it exists and will punish me eternally (or some way) if I don't comply and worship, you'd bet I'd first in line at the altar. How can one not comply when starring down the barrel of an objectively observable "loaded gun?"foxhound_fox

No. Do people have any idea what worship means? Do people have any idea what working for someone means? Obviously not. This god you speak of wants you to be his slave. I rather die. Come smite me... My knees will never be buried in the dirt. Diablo112688

What if he zaps your legs off only leaving your knees ........ :P

I think God and I would have to sit down, have a facial, do our nails, watch some chick flicks in our bath robes and have a D&M before I went ahead and worshipped Him. He'd really have to explain His motives and help me, as a mere mortal, understand why He'd do thing the way He did. Just because he's more powerful than me, doesn't mean he has to be worshipped. Furthermore, it would depend on what he asked from me. Which religion has worshipping down right? What if he said "no religion is right; nor are they wrong" (i.e. just worshiping Him in general makes Him happy. Could I not then worship Him in my own way, just by thanking Him etc

It'd come down to that. I'm not suddenly going to gush over Him and become a priest just because he knocks on my door, says hai, and tries to sell something I'm not buying. He'd realy have to convince me.

Science can't prove everything.

For everything we can't prove, until we find out it's the doing of God. But even then, there are some things we will never find out.

That's because God is real.

I wouldn't say or do anything. God would know exactly what I need to hear, and he would tell me.

Well... I would acknowledge his existance, but wouldn't see any reason to worship him unless he could show me why I should.-Panjera-
