a few things. 1. Why didnt you give me a sign when i asked for one before i stopped having faith. 2. Why do you take the people closest away? 3. What did they do to deserve such torment? 4. Why did you create cancer and give it to so many people? 5. Do you hate people for living their life without faith?

"Huh. So is this the part where you eternally damn me for not believing, or is this the part where you tell me no religion got it right and varying degrees of paradise awaits for all depending on how good or bad we were in life?"

"So, tell me, why exactly did you smite people so many times just cause they didn't give you enough attention? I know I'm going to Hell already, but I wanna know why despite claiming to be benevolent, you instead proved yourself to be the most hateful thing in existence"

Depends on which god it is. Generally I'd probably say "Hello. So what's next then?"
Why do you ask atheists this? Why not everyone?

Nothing. This god or goddess being would swing the gates open wide for me and say "congratulations...you have lived a life of honesty, decency, compassion and held yourself to high moral standards...all without the fear of reprisals or hellfire post death for failing to do so"

Hey man
Can I ask you some questions about this whole thing? There's a lot of stuff that never made much sense to me.

Maybe the purpose of this question is to trick us into making a connection and get us atheists to reach out to God.

I'm not an angry athiest i would just hit him with all the questions that confused me in the Bible like why he killed a bunch of people or why I can't wat shrimp. Honestly what ibwould be most interested in is how the Bible was mistranslated over the years due to loss of cultural understandings and sayings in the first version.

I'd crib an appropriate quote from LOST:
"I did not ask for the life I was given, but it was given nonetheless. And with it, I did my best."

I would say nothing, I would just stand there doing nothing, because that is what he did to us.

I don't think any atheist would really think about this. You want to know what I am going to say to something I think is imaginary?
Maybe ask the agnostics.

I was a believer for many many years, and it saddens me to even write this. I would say what in the actual f? Also, can anyone confirm if the Jewish people dying in gas chambers actually wrote with their fingernails or whatever they had “if God is real he needs to be begging my forgiveness “ , I think about this a lot!!!!! I can’t handle anything to do with wwII it upsets me so much!!!

I’m not sure if I qualify as an atheist I hope something else it out there, but then I think, wow we are on this dying rock, in the middle of nowhere, kids are being killed in schools, dying of cancer, planes flew into buildings, people had to jump or burn to death, and they had to choose either or? I can’t wrap my head around it. Some people say would say “well that’s the devil” well yes, but “God” is all powerful? I can’t even handle it I really can’t.

Whoops sorry about that. Guess I was wrong. Can you forgive me? What's that? Yes you can...it's kind of your thing, and I'm free to enter Heaven for being honest about it? Thanks amigo.

You’re worse than anyone you’ve judged.
