Why I should punish him/her?? If someone was a good person, there's no reason to punish him/her. It wasn't his/her obligation to beleive in me, because everyone is free to beleive anything they want to. Just live your life without regrets and without harming everyone else and I'll accept you happily (sp?), even if you beleived in me or not.

I wouldn't punish that person. Punishing a person for disagreeing with you? Or in this case, simply not believing in you, when there is no proof anyway? That's being pretty immoral yourself. I wouldn't blame them. I wouldn't believe in me either. Or should I say I don't really. I question whether there is or is not any type of God. I don't think I'd punish anyone, really. I would maybe punish those who committed heinous crimes and were not caught or were not punished in life, but otherwise no. I wouldn't damn anyone for an eternity. Don't believe in that shit. --------------------       I'd be happy to click back :] I always click back full parties. I also click new pokemon/eggs you add to your party throughout the day.

No. I would not punish the non-believers. I would simply mourn that I could not make their life better. Without faith, a god has no power over a person. That's what I believe. Though personally, I do think God should come down here himself and show Himself to us all. If I were a God, I most certainly would come down from time to time just to walk among the people and teach them things they need to know. I wouldn't force anyone to believe in me if they chose not to, despite seeing me.
I'd also deputize people who have made it to heaven to do small tasks there, and allow some really good ones to come to earth to help the faitful people. (as Demi-Gods/Goddesses) :P There would be no punishment for non-faith, but you would not be assisted by a Demi-god/goddess even if you needed it.

Let them in. I don't need anyone to worship me. I'm impartial to religion when it comes to deciding who are good and bad people - it's about actions and attitudes towards other people, not what you believe. I'd welcome a good atheist over a bad theist any day of the week.
But then again, I wouldn't be keen on throwing people into Hell anyway. Eternal damnation is a harsh crime...maybe have the sinful be re-incarnated or something =) --------------------  ~[Insert meaningful song lyrics here]~   ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ^ Dry Berries please! =) / They need to be warm XD ^ A letter I found in my room one day...

No. I'm not going to punish someone, simply because they don't believe I exist.

If I were a God(dess) I would make it impossible for my creations to not believe in me. I'd be a personable God, kissing babies, petting puppies, and appearing in McDonald's commercials while ruling all of Creation from a very trendy business building near the beach that has thousands of civil servants to process any complaints or suggestions. Whoever didn't believe in me would have to live under a rock and be shunned by my utopian society.
That said, I wouldn't punish the person so much as make them serve me for their afterlife. Someone that determined to go against the flow would probably be good to shake up my own self-induced bureaucracy. I'd be the God and play my own Devil's advocate. --------------------  TRAINER HAILS is dressed for summer!  Purple Pokémon Collector   Generation II Fan  |

If I were God, I would not allow that person to enter into paradise.
Now, before all of you attack me, allow me to explain. I created all people. I loved them and poured my heart and all of my imagination into creating them into an image of me. Their pain is my pain; their joy is my joy. I give them the choice to believe in me or not because it is not truly love without choice. But my creation chooses wrong. They turn from me and scorn me, their creator, the one who loved them since before they were conceived, and proceed to destroy others and themselves. Not one of them is blameless and none I can stand for what they have done in their life and I must avert my eyes from their sin. But I still love them. I love them so much that I send a part of me, my son, the only one who can walk amongst men and be truly blameless, only to have my creation destroy him as well. Because he was perfect and yet lived and died as a human and bore the weight of all sins on his shoulders, any who believed in his and my own great love would be forgiven and could live with me in the full light of how I created them for ever and ever. But even after all this, some still do not believe. After all I had done and given for them and how they rejected my sacrifice for them, would I want them to be with me for eternity? The answer is no, and it is not just for the sake of myself either. If someone doesn't truly love me, would they really enjoy sitting at my side for all eternity? Would they not resent me if not worse? No, I would separate them from myself for both our sakes, because I still love them even though they had averted their eyes from me for their entire lives, and now it is my time to do the same, because they never knew me nor wanted to know me. --------------------   Well, while you're looking at my signature you might as well take a look at my eggies       |

I would most likely not punish this person. If he has been a good person, he has followed my "rules" and ths actually kind of HAS believed in me. Except when he's been warlkng around, shouting at everyone I dont exist. than I would punish him a bit, but than still grant him heaven, as his eyes need to be opened

It takes a true saint to be a god, and you have to be pure of heart. I wouldn't make a good god. It's a lot more fun to be a devil because there's a lot more freedom, you make a lot of people (demons?) suffer, and you have cool powers!
With that aside, I would let them in despite of that person not believing me. They would believe in me once they come to heaven anyways. Of course, that's definitely the case with a good person. -------------------- |

Hmm nop I wouldn`t punish anyone for that. I think if a person lives away that he thinks is a right way and he listens to his conscience he won`t be punished. Believing is just to much controled by your upbringing and random surcomstances. I think I wouldn`t even punish people that belief they help people by hurting some because it wouldn`t really be there fault. However killing for fun ior own prosperty is something different.
And further I think punishing someone for not believing in you is something for mortals. I would be standing way above that sort of actions --------------------       in daycare  dream team (click to show) dogs (click to show) |

Punish them? No! I'd reward them. If I haven't bothered to reveal myself, it probably means I want to be left well enough alone without all the little people gossiping about me behind my back (especially since they're probably just talking out of their backsides - why would I want a million people speaking for me without my approval?).

Well... not to be offensive (don't read on if you are easily offended), but
If I had that kind of power, I would wipe out all of humanity. Humans are shameless creatures who carelessly ignore any misfortunes which do not befall them directly. They can, and often do, turn a blind eye to all manner of wickedness so long as it does not affect them or their kin. They can sit there praying to the heavens in thankfulness while their neighbors lay dying around them. They completely ignore the forces of nature and the beautiful world that they are destroying. Look at it like this: Obama just decided on making a law that (I believe in 2016) all cars will have to use (if I'm not mistaken) 30 miles per gallon of gas. People are complaining... this is to protect the environment, not to protect people's money. I honestly don't see dead trees (dollar bills) as more important than the environment and nature's creatures. If you care that much about your money, then don't have kids. Don't reproduce, it will only cause more famine. And people are complaining about famine, well then don't have 12 kids. Continuous reproduction only causes more and more famine, more famine causes more animals to be killed for food, which corrups the balance of nature that was well set out before humans started messing with it. It all chains together on how humans have been causing more and more destruction to this beautiful planet. I have more information to back that up, but now I'm getting way too off-topic, so I'll just answer your question. I don't believe in God myself, so I have no reason to punish someone that doesn't believe in it either. There are more important people to punish such as rapists, assassins, etc. -------------------- Your click can and will make a difference             Click as many of mine as you wish, and I'll return full party clicks, even if it is only one egg. If you give me full party clicks, though, I will give you a cookie, and if I'm in a good mood, you'll get a muffin as a bonus point. |

Great job with generalizations, by the way. I can tell you for a fact that not all of humanity is like that -- not nearly.

It makes little sense to condemn them for such a little thing that isn't even wrong in any way. So, no.

No, I would not punish them. I created them, why would I want them to suffer? I would wonder what could have happened to make them the way they are. Then I would try to create a new life for them where they can feel safe and happy. I don't want anyone to be filled with suffering or rage. Even if they somehow were born "evil" as people say, I would still give them another life, just to try to open up there heart.
Forgiveness can really open up someones eyes. I used to get in a lot of fights when I was younger. There was this one boy who was a real jerk, he picked on everyone even children. One day he ruined a little girls doll and I just lost it and tried to hurt him. He was way stronger than me, he could have beat me up if he wanted to. But instead he just tried to hold me still and told me he was not going to fight me. Apparently I found out later from a friend that he didn't hit girls because him and his mother were beaten by his father. Which probaly explaind why he was such a jerk. I never got in a physical fight ever again after that. I stick up for others and try to teach people how to communicate in a way that they don't need their fists to get a point across. And even though I hate him for how he acts, I respect him. -------------------- ~om nom nom~  |
