Meetings with God

[Dominick]

So what would happen if a non-believer would meet God ? I think it would go along these lines: (parenthesized text are thoughts; italic is not part of the dialogue).

God : I am God. I exist.
D. : ....(oh shit). Uhm, I see....
God : Empirical evidence enough for you ?
D. : Uhm, ...yes.

uncomfortable silence

D. : So, uhm, God, is the universe finite? Is it flat ? Is string theory a correct description of it ? Is relativity the final stage of gravity theory ? Is...

interruption

God : Such knowledge is not for mere mortals.
D. : (Of course) ....I see.
D. : Well, I still want to know how everything works, you know.
D. : So, nice meeting you, but I'll continue studying anyway.

D. Wanders off.

God : (why do you think I put intellectual curiosity into your gene pool, fool)

another day

D. : Hi again, God.
God : ...
D. : So, which religion got it right after all ?
God : All of them and none of them.
D. : You mean you're above all that ?
God : ... Thunderous silence

D. : I still don't like any of them, you know.
God : ... Thunderous silence

D. : Your rules seem a bit arbitrary, no ?
God: If they are abritrary, they are not mine.
D. : Which ones are yours then ?
God : "Love they neighbour as theyself" is one.
D. : That one doesn't seem to be very consistently used by those that invoke your name.
God : ... Thunderous silence
D. : (not very talkative are you ?)
D. : Let me guess; if they abide by it selectively, that's not according to your wishes ?
God : ... Thunderous silence

D. : Alright, gotta go, see ya.

D. wanders off.

God : (It's called free will for a reason, fool)

It may be the three dollar whine and the PBR speaking, but all that really comes to mind is:

"we apologize for the inconvenience."

Seems like a logical contradiction here - or evidence of God acting malicious...

Me: Oh, snap, hey god.

If anything like a god existed, I don't think we would concern him at all. The universe is fairly big compared to us, our planet, our sun, our galaxy.

Hundreds of billions of galaxies? Getting dizzy again.

That's a bare minimum. If inflationary universe theory (http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr162/lect/cosmology/inflation.html) is correct -personally I think so-, it's that amount times that amount times that amount times... (repeat 7.3 times). Or thereabouts :D

And it only exists for the sake of one species on this little planet.....

I think that if there were a God, he would be "big" enough to be concerned with every particle.

I think that if there were a God, he would be "big" enough to be concerned with every particle.

This would fit with an Abrahamic version of a God. It really doesn't fit with any of the polytheistic systems though. I suppose with the spelling you supplied that this was what you meant.

My meeting with god(s):
Me: <applause> ... how does he do that? ... <applause> ... good show! ... <applause> ... hmm, I think I can see a mirror there
