If god existed (and I were he) I would come down to earth to prove my own existence beyond any shadow of doubt. Faith would then become irrelevant. Admittance to heaven would be based solely on works.

But if GOD exists and he did that, what will you say?
Originally posted by ahosyneyNo. I have other reasons for thinking God doesn't exist, but no theist has ever been able to explain to me how the behavior of the God they describe is compatible with their claim that he is a loving God. (Except of course for the "Only God knows" explanation).

I cant predict imaginary futures. What are you going to say when a pink unicorn jumps out of your fridge?
