Atheists Explain What They'd Ask God If There Actually Was Life After Death

Many people are convinced that there is life after death. But there are different interpretations of what that life might look like. Atheists, however? They don't believe in any of it. Why would they? There's no proof, as far as they're concerned.

But suppose they had an opportunity to ask?

Would God, whatever a god might look like, answer?

And what might that answer be?

People shared their thoughts with us after Redditor SoAllofThis asked the online community,

"Atheists, if there is life after death and you were standing before a supreme being after you passed away, what would be the first thought that came to mind and the first question you asked them?"


"Is this the start..."

"Is this the start of my own Isekai?"

ArmedPandyFury

Depends, did you see a truck?

"Are any humans' beliefs close to who or what you are?"

Well, according to Michael from The Good Place, "On October 14, 1972, during a magic mushroom trip, Doug Forcett described to his friend Randy the nature of the afterlife to a surprising degree of accuracy — getting it 92% correct."

Sooo... maybe?

"What is it..."

"What exactly is it you say you DO here?"

MacarioTala

I'm good with people! I'm a people person!!!

Simple.

"Who are you?"

What If the being replies: "I’m you"?

What then?

"So which one..."

"So which one is it, and how worried do I have to be?"

After that, you can always ask, "So which one are you, and what's next?"

"I'd ask..."

"I’d ask, when can I see my dogs?"

Specialist-Phrase332

Sorry, your dog is in Dog Heaven. It's on a different cloud. If you want to go there, I'll have to reincarnate you as a canine.

What's your position..."

"What's your position on honest doubt vs disingenuous piety?"

Something tells me plenty have gotten into so much trouble over the years asking about different variations of this question while growing up in a fundamentalist Pentecostal family.

"I’d like to speak to your manager."

Next, you can ask, "Do you know who I am??" and see where that gets you.

"Could God..."

"Could God microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?"

[deleted]

It's worth a shot.

Well, God... the ball's in your court.

Punk'd!

"Was it all just a prank, bro?”

*God points at camera*

We've got youuuu!

I'd want to know what the hell is up with wasps, personally. Someone answer me that.

MAGA Melts Down After 'Woke' Pope Leo Urges The World To 'Search Always For Peace'

MAGA followers were not happy with Pope Leo XIV and accused him of being "woke" after he, in remarks to reporters, implored "people of good will" to "search always for peace."

The Pope spoke out after President Donald Trump insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

CNN aired a fitting montage after President Donald Trump launched a broad attack on several conservative media figures—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones—accusing them of being “stupid,” attention-seeking, and out of step with his political movement.

Carlson urged U.S. military aides to refuse any orders involving the killing of Iranian civilians. Owens, formerly of Turning Point USA, condemned the administration as “satanic” and called on Congress to remove what she described as the “Mad King Trump.”

For social media influencers, it's important for them to be as discreet as they can be about their living location and frequent places that they visit, because otherwise their followers and viewers could begin to piece together where they go and where they live.
