If god exists?

[floo]

If it was conclusively proven beyond all shadow of doubt that god exists, would the non believers on this forum worship it?

I don't believe anyone or anything should be worshipped, including god.

[Shaker]

What kind of god? Which one?

I'm not big on the concept of worship either, unless it involves Christina Trevanion anyway.

I was thinking of the Christian god as its concept is the one with which I am most familiar.

Why on earth would you wish to worship an expert on antiques?

In which case, certainly not. Unambiguous demonstration of its existence demands acknowledgement, not worship.

Because I've seen her

So you have seen her, so what, I don't get it?

Floo,

Something I've never understood is why, if you think there to be the god whose character is the best that could possibly be, he'd want to be worshipped. Isn't worship something third world despots demand or at least appreciate?

Seems to me to be a fairly obvious projection by those who feel the need to worship something onto a god who therefore expects it.

If that were the case I would accept that god existed - but that is different to worship. That would depend entirely firstly on whether that god expected worship and secondly on whether that god deserved worship.

why am I not surprised !!!

if the ''creator of the universe'' were to show its self , I would accept it . However worship is a different matter .

Would a god that expected worship deserve it?  (Note to be honest, I am struggling with what 'worship' never mind 'god' amounts to)

That's very magnanimous of you.

[Walter]

That's very magnanimous of you.

who put you in charge of judging ?

[bluehillside Retd.]

Walter,

who put you in charge of judging ?

God?

He probably gets a special hat and a clip board and everything.

There would be something very wrong with a human or deity who expects to be worshipped.

Floo,

Sleep tight, mind the bugs don't bite.

To be fair though, that's the closest he's come to an actual argument since he's been here.

Pity really. For all I know he may actually have something interesting to say, but so far he's shaping up as your standard smash and grab merchant - post something, get challenged on it, disappear.

Oh well.

As David Hume put it, it certainly manifests a very human attribute - a restless appetite for applause.

It would creep me out if anyone worshipped me, fortunately that is as likely to happen as it is for me to sprout wings!

Pair of trousers with a stripe down each side? Best red.

Walter,

doubles up as a carpark attendant at weekends

Can you imagine Vlad the car park attendant?

VtCPA: “So, you think parking sideways across two spaces is correct do you?”

Me: “Er, that’s not what I did at all. Look, here’s a CCTV image that shows I was exactly between the lines.”

VtCPA: “Mere turd polishing. Now then, you do realise that using the half hour free option is a philosophical statement don’t you?

How do you defend that then smartarse?”

Me: “Um, it’s no such thing. I was just nipping to the corner shop for a box of liquorice allsorts. Where’s the philosophy in that?”

VtCPA: “Pah! I used to think they were allsorts too before I gained my detailed knowledge of confectionary manufacture. They’re actually treats made of scotch mist and unicorn tears you schmuck…”

Me: “So how does your detailed knowledge of confectionary tell you that exactly?”

VtCAP: Silence

Me: "Hello?"

VtCPA: "Category f***!"
