Mr_Anony: please guys, let's not derail the thread. It's a simple poll, just answer and move on.

Sorry bro. MacDaddy's "denseness" is just too fun to resist playing with sometimes. Sorry. <gets back in the sidelines>

Mr_Anony:
Thanks for answering.

If it is true that God is merely an invented idea, then there will be no need believing in God. If it is true that God does not exist, I will cease to have faith in God. It is simply silly to have faith in something that is imaginary

Excellent answer.
Now you know have a good understanding of how atheists think.

Oh I understand exactly how an atheist would think.
The thing is that I know God is not imaginary however what concerns me is when someone says that even if he discovered that God is real and true, he will still not acknowledge Him.
We'll get back to this eventually, but for now let's allow the poll to continue. Perhaps after say about 10 or so replies, then we can talk about the implications. So far we have only 4 answers. Let's have a few more.

You dont know and that is why you have faith.

Ho can you state that you know that you know that God is not imaginary when there is no proof for God? You just accept on faith.

Mr_Anony:
Just to make things clear, The question I asked doesn't assume any particular version of God or what kind of being God may be.
Basically, it asks If you met a being who is all-powerful and all-knowing and created everything that exists including you, will you obey such a being?

Now to answer your question: If it was indeed true that allah was the one true God and mohammed was indeed his prophet then I will have no problem submitting to allah.

Now over to you, would you like to answer my original question?
going by your analogy,if i met such an all-powerful being,i will have no qualms falling in love with him.
another question-if there is irrefutable proof that christianity is a big hoax,willl you keep on believing "by faith"?

Do guys here generally appreciates derailing topics? Ok, let's do it

@delafruita, Jesus or Mohammed wasn't mention in here, u don't have to show the whole world u r muslim, this thread was generalized. BTW be the judge, Jesus and Mohammed which to believe, the guy that thigh a 6 year old with numerous wives or the one even your quoran claim has no sin. Between Yahweh and Allah, the guy that cares only for his people in old test. And extend his hands to others in new test. Or the guy that cares only for his servant permitting him to thigh a 6year old and not permitting anybody else to marry his wives, giving virgins to those who destroy(bomb) others, hmm that guy most be a ...I learnt the more the trousers jump from the feet (like MJ) the more the reward, the more the long beards the more the reward and the more the ladies covers her face and legs the more the reward, each step taking while walking to a mosque is equivalent to rewards! I know this will hurt u, well, bomb nairaland (u sure can with ur insults or 'unalligned' arguements)

@poster Yes!

I think I'll rather live my life such that if there's a God-whether he be Allah or Yahweh, he'll be forced to reward me after life for living an honourable and 'evil-free' life and if there's no God, even co humans will know this person has lived right!

No. I would not submit to gods rule.
I prefer a democratic system of government based on equality for all regardless of race, religion, or gender.
As an ex christian I have read the bible and the laws in it are barbaric.
For example; Deuteronomy 13 commands you to stone your own family members to death, then slaughter with a sword, all the inhabitants of your next town (and kill all the animals too). These 'divine' rules are the laws of a crazed genocidal ruler.

Mr_Anony: I'm just taking a poll: All you have to do is answer yes or no. You don't have to explain your answer.

THE QUESTION: Assuming you came to find out that God exists and you found it to true beyond every reasonable doubt such that it is common knowledge amongst everyone, will you submit to God's rule?

Please answer honestly.

Judeo-christian god? No. Because I think it immoral.

Other gods? Depends

Edit: all powerful and all knowing? Its impossible. But even just being really powerful and knowledgeable the answer would be no. Unless it can come up with some reasonable explanations. So mythical all powerful etc, definitely no.

I did not specify a judeo-christian deity or any deity at all. Basically, what ask is If you met a being who is all-powerful and all-knowing and created everything that exists including you, will you submit to such a being?

Edit: I have just seen your edited answer, thanks for answering.

Note though, again it's impossible to be omni-etc, but in the case of a very powerful/knowledgeable deity that may think itself or indeed be involved in creating this universe. Accepting its existence? If it showed up sure why not. Submitting to its will? It has a lOooooooooooot of explaining to do, so most likely no.

ROTFLMAO.i am many things to many people and this wont be the first time i have been accused of been a muslim.perhaps i dont harp on islam as much i do xtianity and thats probably because a muslim has never come to preach to me.a muslim has never come to my window with a megaphone screaming "repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand".a muslim has never discomforted me in a bus with preaching.a muslim has never handed me a tract.a muslim has never invited me to his mosque with promises of healing,deliverance,prosperity and heaven.however,when the situation has warranted,i have let my opinion on islam be known and it hasnt been palatable to the muslims

thats part of their prayer and over the years i have sorta adapted to it.it even serves as my alarm clock sometimes.however the new trend nowadays is for christians,who obviously cant afford to rent a shop for their "ministry",to buy a megaphone,awake early in the day and go on preaching sprees.
