Atheists: Imagine this: Say after you die, God shows up and says to you......?

"I know you're a decent person and I know you have some complaints, if we can just agree to disagree, you can enjoy afterlife in Heaven. Whaddy say?"

So, what do you say"

And just for good measure, He appears to you as a Flying Spaghetti Monster/Pink Unicorn :)

    So I'm assuming that Hell is equally as real as God and Heaven (in your scenario)...then yea, sure, why not? I mean, if the alternative is this literal Hell the Bible speaks of, then that's essentially a "Get out of Hell, Free" card.

    Part of being an atheist is (generally) being intelligent. You don't pass on free offers like that.

    EDIT:

    Then I would ask "I Get It" why he doesn't know his common sense--or his English. ("you're" science? Really now?)

    Ah, but there's where the whole thing falls down.

    Even if there was a God, and even if he "agreed to disagree", I don't want an afterlife. I want to stop existing when I die. I'm glad that will be the end of me. Truth be told, I'm sort of glad my kidneys seem to have started failing because it means I won't have to bother spending decades waiting and watching while my body slowly decays into ruin on me.

    What's God to do with people who don't want what he's offering not because they don't like who's making the offer, but because they don't like what they're being given?

    What then? Does he do what I want and erase my soul from existence, or does he agree that he disagrees with my wishes on the matter and just tell me I have to enjoy the afterlife whether I like it or not?

    Well, if he shows up, then I'd have evidence, so of course I'd believe in him.

    Of course, I may realise that if I'm experiencing all this I'm not actually dead.

    Anyway, I may just climb on my trusty dragon and fly off into the sunset towards the land of Stormhold.

    You see, if you propose one fantasy scenario, I can add my own fantasy elements too!

    I'd be surprised, but wouldn't mind if I was wrong about God. That being said, if it was the Christian God, I'd have a whole lotta questions to ask. Actually, no matter who it was, I'd have a whole lot of questions to ask.

    I'd give points for demonstrating a sense of humour for sure. I guess my answer would depend upon what Heaven actually was. Every depiction I've heard of it always struck me as excessively comfortable.

    Which god, the Christian god? He'd have plenty to answer for before I bothered. Unless he went all OT on me and started peeling my fingernails off one at a time. Then I'd probably tell him he was great. But what would that be worth, really?

    I would be like, God you're awesome. Lets be friends.

    Thanks for finally revealing yourself to me. How can I be sure I am not dreaming/hallucinating you? What attributes do you actually have that make you god? Then I would go based on the response.

    KwaLuLu would never say anything so dumb.

    So I would know it wasn't the real god.

    "Sure thing".

    I'd say the seat of judgment is the last place to be getting a smart mouth.
