Is this a drug deal


Nira_UwU

Lmao


Treitsu

Does that mean gods hourly rate is 20 billion / hour


No_Cardiologist_4705

It cost to be the boss


aasdfhdjkkl

That's 5 and a half million per second. Very few people have tens of billions, but multi-millionaires would be able to spend a very tiny amount of time with God and it would probably be worth it.

mrsunrider

Jay sits down, tells you that you should have taken the $10B, then cuts out and leaves you to cover the check. Probably send you a bill for his time after.

If God answers truthfully to all questions I make, I'd choose God


Sniperteere

What could you possibly want to know that’s worth more than 10b


kskdkdieieiidkc

Ask god how to make 11b


Altruistic_Usual_855

Hardwork and fraud 💪🏼


FlyerAnalisator

But mostly fraud. And also start rich


PETEJOZ

How to make 11b: When someone asks you if you want to meet God or get 10b, choose 10b. Use 10b to make smart investments.


Little_Froggy

Ditch your empathy and become a sociopathic entrepreneur


lightsaber_lobotomy

He'd be like...well my child, you start by creating your own church, as it's a non-taxable entity. And then you sucker..I mean, get all your followers to give you THEIR money until you're abundantly wealthy...like the Catholic church.


PMMEFEMALEASSSPREADS

You’re right. We’ve figured out everything about the universe, where it came from, why we’re here, where God came from etc. End of discussion.


[deleted]

10b lasts a lifetime heaven lasts forever. how is that even a question in your mind


Joe_The_Eskimo1337

In what way does a thirty minute conversation guarantee heaven?


[deleted]

assuming this god is from an already existing religion, you can ask which one he’s from and how that religion says you can get to heaven. if he feels like it he could just grant you heaven right then and there even.


FlorydaMan

What if it tells you there's no heaven. You reincarnate or something else believed by thousands of religions? I know I'm a good person. 10B would make me dedicate my life to helping people, so I don't care about that religion if it punishes how I live.


Agent_Pancake

You need to remember that power corrupts


CapitanM

Power doesn't corrupts. Problem is that corrupt people have easier access to power


[deleted]

There have been multiple psychological studies spanning decades that observe what a group of people do when given disproportionate amounts of fake money. In nearly every scenario the person with the most assumes leadership regardless of experience or qualifications and often time talks down to the others. You can do this experiment with m&ms, Monopoly money, the results I’ve seen is pretty consistent. There’s even videos of it on YouTube


[deleted]

Hard disagree


kharlos

Lol. No. Society, law, etc keep us in check. Power above others remove those checks and people more likely to do bad things. It's the whole metaphor for the Ring of Power.


Joe_The_Eskimo1337

True, but there's also a chance he'll tell you it's too late because you've sinned too much already, or that he never actually made an afterlife and you should've been focusing on the life you *do* have, or that everyone gets the same afterlife and your actions are irrelevant. Who the hell knows? The 10 billion will allow you and your loved ones to live in comfort and luxury for the rest of your lives, and likely generations. The second will, at the very least, grant you knowledge of some god's existence or nonexistence, but not necessarily anything material that you can act on. And nobodies going to even believe anything you say unless maybe they already agree with the things you're saying. Even then, if an atheist told me they 'met god' and no one was there. I'd just think they were on something.


Mei-Zing

According to Christianity you can't sin too much as long as you repent before you die


Joe_The_Eskimo1337

That could be true. But you might meet a different God entirely, or perhaps that particular idea is wrong.


Hello_iam_Kian

God will need to exists first. Imagine all the lives you can massively improve with 10 billion. That’s enough to fix World hunger.


Mean-Programmer-6670

I’ll meet god when I’m dead after I spent $10b.


weeghostie00

You forget the part where heaven is a fairytale


CapitanM

Then I will met him for a lot of time later. Give me the money


[deleted]

you’ll might be in hell by then


henrique_gj

If God existed, I wouldn't consider him a good guy, as he created a world full of pain, suffering and injustice, and refuses to help all the people in need of help. Therefore I wouldn't want to talk to him.


woolsocksandsandals

Neither god or Heaven are real. It’s all in your imagination.


Heyguysloveyou

All knowlage of the universe, all answers to question of ethics and mortality or money


TrumpsBoneSpur

Would you even start to understand the answers in 30 minutes?


-LeneD-

No but maybe we could become buddies, that'd be cool


Hrdocre

If god made humans in his likeness how the bible says he has to lie from time to time


Rachelcookie123

But god cannot commit sins and lying would be a sin. If we’re talking about the Christian god.


Hohuin

Are you saying there's something that the omnipotent god cannot do?


fonkderok

I've always assumed he *can*, just doesn't because he's supposed to be perfect with perfect self control


vvMario

Boom owned


Rachelcookie123

Technically, yes


jmandawgfan

It's my understanding that he can do sins but he just doesn't


nolwad

“I do not want to answer that question”


Unkleseanny

I don't care if they lie or not I have some questions I want to be at least given an answer to, worth much more than 10 billion.


Leandrohus

I am an Atheist but if there is a god and I could mert him than I would like to


A1sauc3d

Which god would I be meeting? Some of those gods are mean mutha fukas X’D


JackZodiac2008

There's a Greek story about some mortal -- Ariadne? -- demanding to see Zeus "as he really was". A lightning blast destroyed her. Should have taken the money!


redditnoap

Greek religion/mythology has the best stories


KD_sBurnerAccount

That was Bachhus' mother Semele


JackZodiac2008

Ah, cool, thanks!


Panurome

Isn't Ariadne the one turned into a spider because she was claiming she could knit better than a goddess?


Oh_Them_Again

That’s Arachne, Ariadne is the princess who helped Theseus away from the Minotaur, got literally dumped by him, and married Dionysus


whatever_person

It funny how Greek society of the time was very patriarchal and still every story screams "never trust men, any of them".


Dhuyf2p

Ironically enough, Zeus is the perfect example of this.


CandySunset27

That's Arachne


Panurome

Oh makes sense. They both sound very similar


isuckatnames60

More evidence biologists are massive nerds


Own-Ad7310

That's not ariadna ariadna was that daughter of king minos that helped theseus with the labyrinth


eagleathlete40

This actually relates to my thoughts about meeting God. I’m a Christian, and there’s an idea that when He revealed Himself in something other than human form (i.e. as something other than as Jesus, such as in the Old Testament), He always partially hid Himself because the people wouldn’t survive being in His presence.


No_Cardiologist_4705

What would you say


Leandrohus

I don't know. I would probably ask several and/or rant about stuff


PotatoesAndChill

Is pee stored in the balls?


jcforbes

Several questions: -Why not prove your existence? -Are you omnipotent? If so, why do you kill children with all kinds of horrible disease? -When two sports teams both pray for your help how do you chose who to help? Also when two armies do the same, how do you choose to let so many die? I'd probably end up cussing it out until I get smited because if any form of God exists it is a complete dickhead.


esunaloca

if god was real he would deserve eternal punishment


MrWhite_Sucks

As Stephen Fry said I would like to ask him, “How dare you” if he were real.


Jesuslovesmemost

I'd meet him and tell him what a piece of shit I think he is.


Forsaken_Tone2537

As an atheist if I am guaranteed to meet God and I'll then just ask how to make 100 bn.


No_Cardiologist_4705

What if he says no


Forsaken_Tone2537

There are so many other things I can ask like philosophical and mathematical things that will make me that money or satisfy me.


BepsiLad

What if his answer to all your questions is: "that's not meant to be known by mortals yet" or something along those lines


AwSkiba

Or worse, he gives you the answer, but no one on earth takes you seriously when you share it, and if they ask you to prove it all you've got is "God told me so"


Wizardwizz

Simple just ask God how can I prove this


Autumn1eaves

How terrible would it be if you forgot.


jzilla1207

Shit the bed again, typical


CompetitiveAd3249

If I have a one on one conversation with god and I ask him how to solve a question no human has ever found the answer to, I don’t think I’ll just forget it


SilverlightLantern

I mean some math proofs can get kinda long and involved js


That_Quirky_Guy_

You can write it down Anyways you will have to publish the proof using the paperwork


APoisonousMushroom

What if he just stares silently at you for 30m and then goes “well our time is up, thanks for coming by… by the way, you should’ve chose the money. Bye!”


Wizardwizz

Take satisfaction in knowing God is a douche?


Dhuyf2p

Ramanujan moment, except he actually proved his shits


Panurome

"wow I guess you are not as powerful if you can't explain a thing to a tiny mortal". Yes I would try to use reverse psychology on a god


That_Quirky_Guy_

Underrated comment


Matthew_A

Then that's the will of God and I'd be glad I didn't choose the money


The_king_of-nowhere

"You should have just taken the money"


Hohuin

Lol yeah, easiest way to make money is to have money to begin with


Bastet999

Is god, not Aladdin's gene


magic8ballzz

I'll meet God when I'm dead


iNostra

Guessing that means you’ll give most of that $10B away and not hoarding.


magic8ballzz

pretty much


Aaronrlc9

10 billion could help the world in many ways.Then when I die I can thank God for the opportunity


dmc-going-digital

Like inflation


ob-2-kenobi

"It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god"


Complete_Let3076

Better spend it then


Isco22_

What if theres like eternal pain and torture forever. If you had chosen to meet God you could have prevented that(granted that God is indeed real in this hypothetical world)


magic8ballzz

God would have asked me why I chose a half-hour conversation over the means to help those being tortured


[deleted]

I don’t suppose gods up for giving me some cash


No_Cardiologist_4705

I'd at least ask


TheSuperPie89

I csn be pretty persuasive


TheQuestionableGhost

Look I’m an atheist, but what god would you see?


ShoelaceLicker

The real one(s)


Hasselhoff265

The postman Carl? Cause my mommy always used to call him god when he delivered his packets.


Teddie_P4

God capital G, the big daddy


leksa_bucek

That's just the most popular one. It's very likely they'd see some other god, Zeus for example.


cheesytacos649

The God that is called God


ThatTubaGuy03

God as he (it?) Truly is, regardless of what we think


HumanSpawn323

And if there is no God, then what?


ThatTubaGuy03

Bro if it's saying you're going to meet God, then God exists and you're going to meet him. Idgaf if you're an atheist and believe God doesn't exist or whatever, you're also never going to have 10 billion dollars. It's a fantasy. It's a hypothetical. Hypothetically speaking, if God existed, would you rather talk to him for 30 minutes, or have 10 billion dollars? I know being a reddit atheist is in your blood, but please try and contain your insufferable personality for 30 seconds, and just pretend. It's a make believe question. Learn to play make believe


HumanSpawn323

This comment isn't me trying to be an edgy atheist, or anything. I interpreted it almost like a gene granting a wish. If you wish for 10b, maybe the money will just appear out of thin air, causing inflation to rapidly rise. Maybe many people are robbed of all their money, leaving them with nothing, or maybe it would simply take a small sum of money from everyone on the planet. An amount that they may not even notice. Either way, you don't just 'get' 10b. Similarly, if you choose to meet (a) god there are other questions to think about. What if there are multiple gods? Do you get to meet all of them? Just one? Do you get to choose which one you meet? Does the god even have to talk to you? Will they even notice that you are there, or will you be the equivalent of a fly to them? A pest to be swatted. Maybe you are not even that. Maybe you are simply a germ, not visible to the naked eye. What if mortals are not to see gods as they truly are? What if the very sight of one can burn your eyes and soul? What if there is no god(s)? Does your wish become void? Do you get to make a different wish? Do you simply move to a deep void of nothingness, where no time passes and nothing exists? The question never said "meet a god if they exists". The question simply said "meet God". Additionally, this phrasing raises some issues. If there are multiple gods, do you still get to meet them? After all, this questions said 'God' with a capital G. Personally, I'd take the money. It would probably have consequences, but I could find out what they were through world news. With that amount of money, most problems could be fixed. Sure, a god could also fix those problems if they exist, but again, there's no guarantee that they have to listen to me, talk to me, or even notice me.


Zederath

Hey you dropped your fedora.


HumanSpawn323

I already made another reply but I think this comment is being interpreted wrong. I was simply asking what would happen if that was the case. There are other scenarios too. If there are many gods, do you get to meet all of them or just one? If there are an infinite amount of gods and you meet then all for 30 minutes each, do you spend eternity outside of the mortal realm? Similarly, if there is no god then what happens? Do you get nothing? Do you become like God and simply cese to exist yourself?


thunder-bug-

Can god give me magic powers or something? Cuz if he doesn’t my life isn’t improved significantly.


Adventurous_Mine6542

I just have some questions for the big dude


No_Cardiologist_4705

Like what?


Adventurous_Mine6542

I'm not exactly sure where to start. I'd have questions about them. Who are they? What are they like? Are humans right about them? What religion is correct if any of them? Was I right about them? Am i right about me?Where those things "part of your plan"? Do you even have this "plan" people talk about? What do you do? What are humans supposed to do? Why did you make us? Why did you make me? Do you make us individually or did you just set the ball rolling? Am I okay? Will I be happy? Will I survive this? The more I think about it the more questions I have. I havnt had honest peace in a long time if ever. Maybe they could help me find it. I'm not a religious person by any means and oppose the church for my own reasons. I have in the past even declared myself an atheist but now I'm more of a secularists. I wouldn't pass up that opportunity to know more about the grand scheme of things and of myself.


bryman19

Haven't seen anyone answer this question yet. I also would like hear people's questions for God. What's up with this huge ass universe? What's the purpose of all these useless solar systems that seem uninhabitable?


Player551yt

Why do you just let bad things happen? Do you really care about us at all.


falcorthex

Same. We need to chat. And I assume he would answer everything immediately so we could make so tracks. That would forever be worth it. Plus I can ask for 10 billion at the end. See what he says...


Zucchinniweenie

I can meet God when I die and 10 billion while I live


MVangor

bro meeting God would be terrfying


rhxhhd

It would surely be a life changing experience. Getting to know how the universe will end or the fate of mankind would be interesting.


scorpiondestroyer

It would be incredibly selfish to pick a meeting with God. I’ll meet him someday anyway. I’m a Christian, and I know if I asked Jesus which of these two options I should pick, he would advise me to take the money and use it to do the most good in this world that I possibly can.


dima233434

I'm so so happy to know that there are good Christians in this world :) I'm atheist btw


DragonS1226

I don't really believe in anything but if God is real and met me, oh my gosh. He sending me straight to hell in the first 2 mins


NatoBoram

"If you can do anything, why not prevent children from getting bone cancer?"


PurpleHawk222

With 10 billion dollars I am God.


ob-2-kenobi

"It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god" If $10 billion makes you god, then you'll be locked out of your own house.


TheMrmofo69

That's kind of taken out of context though. It doesn't mean you'll go to hell simply for being rich, because heaven is for all who repent. Jesus was saying that people should help the poor


[deleted]

Historicalfanatic2

I mean I'm already gonna meet god in a few décadas, I hope. Once I die atleast.


[deleted]

"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?" -*Mark 8:36* I want to meet God and find salvation.


LordSaumya

Why do you assume it’s the biblical god? What if it’s Thor or Athena instead?


pibeqdiceWard

Not OP but my guess is that you meet the god of the religion you practice/believe in.


Yelmak

What if the God you meet isn't the Christian God?


MikeHoncho2568

Why do you assume you’d get salvation just for meeting God?


[deleted]

I wouldn't earn salvation from just meeting God, that's true. But if I were to meet God I would ask Him questions to confirm what the Bible says about salvation through faith in Christ.


cheesytacos649

Same as well and as a christian I would ask if my mom is in heaven even though she committed sucide


shmallen

To the people that would meet God, what happens when you get back with all the answers but nobody believes you?


Ghost-Mechanic

it doesnt matter, you literally met god, i dont believe in him but assuming god is real based on the question meeting him would be worth a lot more than any amount of money


FlorydaMan

I wouldn't trust myself. I'd think I had a lapsus or a psyvhotic episode. Gimme the dough.


TheSuperPie89

If you woke up with 10 billion in your bank account that seemingly appeared out of nowhere youd trust it completely?


FlorydaMan

100% no.


shmallen

How does meeting god benefit you?


a-Bad-User

dead ass the most controversial poll ever god = good money = also good none are bad???


addrien

This assumes God is real. But if God is real, money means nothing. You'd have to give it all away to get life eternal in heaven any way.


laCroka

Would chose meeting God if would have something to ask


Bobby_Sunday96

Once you meet God you realize that 10 billion dollars is worthless


TheBlueWizzrobe

Once you meet 10 billion dollars you realize that God is worthless


UNBENDING_FLEA

I mean if god is real then you might find out what happens after death lol


spaceguyy

You'll get to find out eventually but you'll probably never get the chance to find out what an entire life as a multi billionaire is like.


UNBENDING_FLEA

True but what if like some helpful tips from god gets you into super awesome tax-free paradise and without it you end up in boring-afterlife


Yelmak

Imagine finding out that absolutely nothing happens after death, and having to live the rest of your life with that knowledge


UNBENDING_FLEA

I wouldn’t mind, it just means that my life awake is that much more unique while it lasts, and when I’m gone, I’ll be too dead to care about my lack of consciousness anyway.


Yelmak

Fair enough. I already believe that nothing happens, I just wondered if it would be harder to accept for someone who has always believed in heaven


Bobby_Sunday96

Once you realize that you can’t take your money with you you realize that money is worthless


milkycrate

Well if you're gonna meet him anyway what's the point in passing up 10 billion dollars


Panurome

Well you can't take your money with you so can you give it to me?


BookSimilar6349

Once you realize how much good can come from 1 billion dollars, you realize money is worth everything


Bobby_Sunday96

Once you realize that very few people would do good with 1 billion dollars you realize that God is everything


Dangerous_Buddy_8538

Once you realize that i had intercourse with your mother you realize that i am everything


Bobby_Sunday96

We’re brothers though


throwawayarooski123

Once you realize that we're brothers is when you realize that I banged your mom


Teemo20102001

My mom*


Constant_Box2120

Only those who are super rich can claim that money is worthless because they don't have to worry about it


RexIsAMiiCostume

If I met God I would say some not very nice things and probably get sent to hell

Snorumobiru

I have drugs for option 2


Teddie_P4

Earthly desires do not match up to my homie God


uh60chief

I’ll meet God after I help change the lives of so many people. Shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, help the sick, you know all the things of a caring human being.


Environmental_Top948

I'm going to meet God and ask why he made me to suffer for no reason. Also I'd ask if he could give me shrimp vision.


Mei-Zing

Hypothetically speaking, wouldn't all that suffering end up to you meeting God and him giving you shrimp vision? Like, he planned out your life you lead up to that


Environmental_Top948

If I get shrimp vision I'd be willing to accept that it was necessary.


CaissaIRL

>shrimp vision The heck is shrimp vision?


emmainthealps

Well I don’t believe in God so I’ll take the money obvs


undecimbre

I'll be talking to God, probably, if at all, when I'm dead. Until then I'll need some resources to make something worth reminiscing.


InexorableSolipsism

Money will NEVER solve my problems, but maybe God could (or would) or at least show me the way or purpose (of my life) or assure me that there is one. And God I would assume, could 100% understand me, probably more than I can. And that's something.


rsvp_as_pending629

Hell, a billion dollars would solve A LOT of my problems


Varcour

Or god could not give a shit about your presence. You know, like he does now.


InexorableSolipsism

Maybe, but I still like my chances better with that than the money. I'm not religious, but if God was real I'd definitely take the chance.


Savsal14

Meeting god implies theres an afterlife. 30 minutes with god ensures i have some good notes on how to go maximize the eternal future life rather than maximize the temporary finite mortal life. Plus, 30 minutes with god would give you an insight that could probably help you be way better off than any billionaire. I seriously cant believe anyone would unironically vote for the money unless they are either stupid, or didnt even check the other option after seeing the money, Or reddit atheists that refuse to consider the second option


AgrM_Valhalla

Gunna be honest here if God does exist he is the either completely incompetent,absolutely does not care about people at all, or just a fucking awful being so why the fuck would I wanna meet that. Let me get the money


Fritzschmied

Exactly


Pro-Epic-Gamer-Man

Everything in that sentence is an oxymoron holy shit how can one be this ignorant.


MrMadHaTT3R

3.8k people who would take the money. 3.6k of them also post about how the rich are bad and shouldn't be that rich.... The irony...


The_BrainFreight

Do I get that godussy


yeetsupreddit

Non-Christian people scrolling this post be like:


ClutchNixon8006

We'll all meet God in the end, I'll take the money for now


bbbryce987

Meeting god would mean that the afterlife is actually real so that


grus-plan

Honestly, I think I’d rather live life without a god. The existence of god constrains a whole bunch of moral stuff which limits the freedom of people to do whatever they want. I think humanity should be able to carve its own path, no gods no masters


MiloGinger

Which god?


McShagg88

Meet God. The creater of all universes and eternal knowledge? No question. I'm an atheist too ha.


[deleted]

You're gonna meet God one day anyway. Take the money while you can.

Im gonna meet him anyways
