Yeah, so if this really happens, I doubt most of you would tell God to fuck off like you say you would

I would probably be speechless. I really don't know what I would say. It's not like I could impress Him or anything.

If you could briefly outline what that proof is I'd love to hear it.
How about the earth? I just have a hard time believing the big bang theory since there's so much science to disprove it. With science, you need facts. Things that can be recreated and concrete proof. With religion, you just need faith.

What would you say when you met him?

Would you fall on your knees and beg for forgiveness? Would you try to ignore him? Would you sing a jaunty tune? I've always been curious as to what the skeptics would do if it turned out they were wrong. This topic appeases that curiosity of mine.
I would ask how he could try to make me accountable for any of my actions when the logical conclusion of an all knowing God that created everything is that he knew exactly what he was going to do when he made me thus he made all my decisions for me.

Ignoring the logical arguments I would ask why he intervened on things like Noah's Ark but couldn't lift a finger to stop world poverty, war and disease. Why was he so selective about who to help and when. Then I would ask how anyone who would idly stand by and at best just watch suffering has the right to judge any other person.

Ignoring those arguments I guess I would ask how I was supposed to know 'his' way the the 'right' way. With so much contradiction in the scriptures, hypocrisy in the church, not to mention the sheer number of believe systems which are largely developed through social conditioning how could anyone know that this religion was the 'true' one let alone the individual sect inside that belief system.

Ignoring that argument I would ask him how he can claim to be benevolent but willing to punish someone because they didn't believe in him.

Ignoring that argument I would argue how can I be told I have free will if choosing any other path than 'his' would lead to punishment.

Feel free to comment on any of these with what you think his responses would be. I do wonder what he'd think of you using leisure time on a computer on a Sunday the 'new' day of rest.

EDIT: I wouldn't really be worried about hell because if God is benevolent and all-powerful then he would just stop the devil from existing.

I'd ask him why he doesn't fix the shithole we live in and instead stays up there with everything anyone could possibly want ,and... Oh, wait, I guess i answered my own question there.

I'd imagine that talking with an omniscient entity (other than Wikipedia) would be the most amazing experience of my life (no pun intended). So I'd ask him how all the thigns that could possibly prove his non-existence came into being.

This is assuming (s)he's not a complete dick.

Hey, another blanket use of the word "Christian."

Woooooooo.

There are so many different Christian sects with differing beliefs on God that I have no idea what a "Christian" god would think.
Agreed.

Besides feeling really embarrassed for being an atheist and thusly convinced there isn't a god?
I'd ask if He wants to play some CoD4 or something.

i'd ask him what the hell he's been doing all this time? srsly, has he just been sitting up in heaven playing uno with jesus, or did his clock break and he never noticed time passing? also, i'd probably wonder why i'm going to a plane of the afterlife that i don't believe in and thus can't go to. paradox FTW!!!

-this message brought to you by multiple_man, who thinks in plurals because they are
I don't understand the whole "I don't believe, thus it doesn't exist" thing. Isn't that just arrogant?

I think it depends on whether or not God's actually as radiant and awe-inspiring as the descriptions are. If there actually is such majesty and force that I can do nothing but stare in shock at God's magnificence, then I probably won't be asking too many questions, will I?

Assuming that's not the case, then I'd (respectfully) have a debate with him over all the crap that's gone on here and then probably be booted to Hell because I'm a non-believer.

"So... Guess you do exist. Santa? No? Okay... Well, I could give a load of crap 'bout how you made me this way, and blah-blah-blah, but eh. So... Now what?"

I would start asking questions. Beginning with some of the most annoying philosophical questions. I's most likely just go on and on since my idea of heaven is a place where all my questions are answered with a rational, logical and reasonable answer.

I'd want nothing to do with heaven or god. To have lived a life like mine, to know others have lived worse... To know that as a whole the world suffers while He sits back and watches... It would fill me with rage. I'd kindly tell him to fuck himself and to send me to Hell.
Think before you speak in here.

And exactly how does Earth being in existence immediately prove there is a god? Even more specifically the christian god?

First off: Earth's existence can easily be explained by fusion of hydrogen particles after the universe came into being. Ofcourse the universe existing implies that there was something or someone before it, what that is or was is completely up to speculation.
