"Definitely I’m adorable 
I think Jesus might send you a wink too 
Oh I think he would 
Mind that St Peter though. He's a bit of a letch and a toucher "
Hmmm are you called Peter by any chance  |

"Probably not as I don't believe any god would allow kids to die from cancer. "
There’s an argument that we are causing cancer (plastics, chemicals, modern lifestyles), and given that God supports our free will he has to allow it.

But God created the world and he knows everything that will happen before it happens. He therefore created a world knowing that it would be so fucked up and full of misery that he would have to allow his son to be murdered to save it (which lets face it is a little bit of a strange way of doing things). I can't help but ask why he needed to create such a world in the first place. I mean would you make something that you knew you would end up loving so much you'd need at some point in the future to have a son and watch him be tortured to death to save your creation? So then what is the answer to why God did this? Oh yes, to show his glory. God allowed his son to die yo save the earth he created for his own glory.

Regardless of anything that has happened in your life up to this point would you personally have wished to have NEVER existed? We all probably have had the odd moment, but that thing called life is quite something! |

And? You mean that God wanted his creation to have the free will to choose to give him glory even though he knew (he's omnipotent remember) that the direct result would be him having to sacrifice his own son.
I've had this argument many times, if god stumbled across a world already created and allowed his son to die to save all others, that is an impressive act of love from them both. But he didn't. He chose to create a world knowing this would be a requirement of saving it.
I understand all the arguments about free will and how if you stand on one leg and squint this can be used to exonerate God from any of the suffering "caused by human sin" but it doesn't exonerate him from choosing to create this mess on the first place. He has (apparently) existed for ever so why in the last 6000/200,000 years(delete as appropriate depending on whether you believe genesis 1-3 are literal times or not) did he suddenly need to create a race of sinful beings who had the capacity to choose to glorify him?

Humans have always had the free will to do good or to do evil, hence it can be said that the sacrifice of the son was not planned or orchestrated.
The world was never perfect in the first instance, this is made clear in book of genesis, hence why Adam and Eve were given Eden as a place to live. |

God is an utterly ridiculous concept that is put forward as some answer to the formation of the universe.
We have reasonable science to give some explanation as to we are all on a recreational sex site but some want to follow various doctrines, idols, deities and ideology based on fuck all squared.
If those who want to believe in an invisible imaginary friend and spend time worshiping these fictional characters then crack on but dot cause mischief and mayhem to the rest of us. Religion in all its manifestations is mogadon for the masses espoused by charlatans and misfits who are in it for their own gain.
So I couldn’t give a rats septic arse if this god likes me.
Just saying! |

"Would God like you?"
Pretty simple question: if god exists; then yes, he moves each and every one of us unconditionally.
He might send us to hell for stuff we have done, apparently, but yes, he not only likes me, he loves me. |

God is peculiar. Being brought up by a Catholic mum I still think of a mighty bearded bloke lurking above the clouds with his big book, jotting down everything I and everyone else ever did. My mum also talked about Jesus and his philosophy of just being kind and loving.
I never understood the Holy Ghost or this thing called the Trinity.
According to my Christian wife and her friends you only get to Heaven if you simply give your devotion to the incarnation called Jesus, but each all being the same thing apparently?
Doesn’t matter what you did in life though. You could be a right git then one day go to to her church and you’d be saved. Evangelist or some such?
So if God was real it’s a case of which version?
Christian, Muslim, Evangelist, Catholic… because He’s either a big bully, a rosy cheek Shepard of love or one of three things depending on his mood!

Yeah I think god would! I mean who doesn’t like a little stubborn lady, who doesn’t take life too seriously, has an issue with authority, and likes to make her own decisions rather than being told what to do? Haha |

I think a God would like me if they were real. All the religious books are manmade. With ridiculous rules made up by men with some good intentions, but mainly self serving. I think if there was a real God, that God would just judge you on your kindness, compassion and humaneness. All the other stuff is trivial. |

Yeah 'cause she'd kind of have to - love for all her creatures blahdeblahblah.
But if God is real that means Lucifer is also and I'd much rather get the attention of the latter and become part of their harem. |

Any God. Just a God as you imagine a God to be. Powerful. Gives you good stuff when you die. You know the type.
Not necessarily any of the 1000s we have now.  "
Ah, then of course he would. He made me after all. |

If a "god" truly exists, then I hope that he/she has the intelligence to see past my numerous faults and realise that underneath it all, I'm a decent human being. I hope that goes for people too |

No. Principally because I would be first in the queue to question the existence of a delusion; that a so-called "God" has ever existed.
In psychiatric parlance, God is regarded as an idiosyncratic delusion in Schizotypal personality types; this deluded belief being a product of the individual's biochemistry. |
