If I saw God, I would still not be a christian

[KathleenStand]

If, for some reason, the whole jesus and god myth turned out to be true, I would still not be a religious person. I may accept that the bible / whole christian paradigm is true, but I would not worship the Lord, follow his commandments and obey his will when these actions contradict the complex process that is my decision maker.

I would not worship a god simply because he exists.

If it's really this "complex decision maker" that is making the decision, then how can you say preemptively, "I would not worship that god?" Where did this "I" come in, and why do you think it has any say in the process, according to your logic?

If you were to ask me, I'd say your decision maker has some serious kinks in it if it could not accept an evident truth.

I didn't say I would not accept christianity as true.

I hope that the constant agonizing torture that Hell is supposed to be is offset by the satisfaction you will gain from knowing you raged against the machine until the very end...

After reading your post, its pretty clear you don't know anything about Christianity or the Christian God.

To the OP. I am the same, he would get no worship from me. I think immorality should never be worshipped. That is true of any god, not only the xtian one.

OTOH, if he manifested to me, I would have quite a few questions and suggestions to make before kicking it in the backside.

Would you know that it was the God which is described in the Bible? If you see God, that doesn't necessarily mean that Christian writings about Him are true (unless He tells you as much).

I agree with your statement though. I would hate life if I was extorted into worshiping something . If the God you saw, though, did claim to be the God which is described in the Christian Bible, I think that I would have to worship him because Hell seems to be very -EV (it would be a 'rock and hard place' situation to say the least).

It's a good thing that I will probably never have to worry about this [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

I think you should experiment by holding a lighter to your finger and burning it while thinking how cool it is to defy God. If you can hold that flame there while your flesh burns off and your bone is charred, truly, you are a man among men.
