I wouldn't mine either, but I'd just like to see these agnostics and atheists with their mouths on the floor drooling all over themselves.

It would entirely depend on what God wanted from me.  The only time I might change my life is if he was entirely different from how I'd expect him to be.

Agnostics?  No true agnostic has ever once ruled out the possibility of their being a god.

laugh at those scientists because God's existence cannot be proven or disproven, yet is something that requires faith to believe.

If God was real, than talking snakes would be as well.

i'd say, "So god, is the bible a load of crock or what? Do you want me to worship you? Shame you let me have free choice then, mate; unless the worshipping involves me using my god-given gifts or something".

It would entirely depend on what God is like - if God was the bastard who sends people to eternal damnation and torment simply because they didn't worship him in life, well, to hell I go. However, if God is just a guy who encourages good behavior in general and doesn't give a rat's ass who you worship, then I'd consider him a being worthy of respect if not worship.

On the flip side of the last article, it is a violation of natural law for such a thing to be possible.

I find it funny that you are the one testing God in this case.

Is that not one of the goals of scientists?

1.  Question the evidence.

2.  See if God wants me to change something about myself.

3.  Congratulate God on her sense of irony.

Basically, John Dibble is an arrogant fool who thinks he's fit to judge someone who gave him everything he has.

I never asked for life - if God indeed chose to give it to me, well, great, but that doesn't make me obligated to worship him. If God only created me to worship him, he should have made me mindless - my life is mine and I'll choose what to do with it, and I choose not to worship narcissistic assholes. If God is all powerful and whatnot, he shouldn't need me or anyone else to stroke his ego.

Oh, and God hasn't given me everything I have - I work for a good deal of the things I have, thank you very much.

Your ability to work would also come from him. He also would continue to support you just by allowing you to exist.

Irrelevant - I am the one who chose to apply that ability. Once again, even if some creator god decided to create me, that does not make me obligated to him, just as you would not be obligated to me if I was to give you a gift.

If your parents raise you for 18 years, and you refuse to support them when they're old, some of us would consider that immoral. I guess you're not one of them.

It's irrelevant, anyway, because without some kind of higher order, "should" and "morality" are just subjective concepts.
