No, its a valid hypothetical question. Just because a group claims to be a proponent of person X does not mean that thing X necessarily stands behind that group. Person X just happens to be God and the group happens to be a particular denomination. I could replace "group" with William Ayers and his fictional group "terrorists for Obama" and Person X to be Barack Obama.

If William Ayers decided to come out of the woodwork, started a Political action committee called "terrorists for Obama" and started blowing up buildings in the name of Barack Obama, do you really think Obama would approve or stand by Ayers? I think not.

 

Well that's true. I just mentioned it because it sounded like you were using it as proof for god's existance.

 

I don't think it would be SO horrible if God really DID exist. Why is that so hard to comprehend? You make it sound as if its intellectual suicide to believe in God or to attribute anything to God.

If God does exist, you can still be an atheist

If we accepted that God created the universe, that doesn't mean that our science textbooks would simply say "god created everything. the end." If someone were to think that and did not look into science, i would consider that ignorance.

The premise that the universe has a designer doesn't mean that we cannot appreciate or study how it works.

For example, we can examine buildings of the ancient romans or the pyramids and we KNOW that they were designed by engineers and whatnot. That doesn't mean that we cannot study those buildings and the architectual/engineering principles thereof.
