Time of reckoning. Aliens have arrived. Superior beings are in charge. So much so that the cosmos is understood. All adults are compelled to take a stand as to whether god(s) exist(ed). Answer incorrectly and you are dispatched with extreme prejudice.
Are you tied in knots and filled with fear? Or do you walk into the moment of truth confessional with aplomb?
Is the typical atheist as certain/carefree in giving her answer as the orthodox theist?
Obviously these beings are not superior within that scenario. Without direct knowledge existence of deities becomes a matter of probabilities. All existing gods, I give 1% chance. Existence of an unknown deity, I give about a 10% chance, just to leave the door open.
On my above post....the less than symbol as in "less than 1%" just vanished into html world. All existing gods, I give less than 1% chance..0.001% is about right.
But that is my hypothetical. These aliens are to us as we are to amoeba. I am curious to know how people think they would react to the situation. Am also curious if the perception among atheists is that orthodox theists and atheists are parallel in their certainty.
So ya, am assuming these smartass aliens have ascertained the truth about gods, creation and eternity.
I would say No, gods do not exist...
There are no gods, never were...also a line from Carlin.
I wonder how many would cross over and abandon their belief or disbelief. I got a sneaky suspicion that when faced with death there would be more purported theists ringing the nay bell than atheists who say yes.
I guess ya dont know for sure until faced with the unknown but cant imagine i would be too nervous as an atheist saying no god.
