In Real Life, if you met a Gouald, would you believe he was a God?

[Ryu]

Not to bring religion into the equation but I'm Christian but the things that the Gouald can do really outsurpassed what Jesus himself did. And remember most miracles happened elsewhere and you kind of just hear about it from so and so but like if Bush and Stephen Hawking said they say this person believe in a miracle, more than likely I would too. I believe atom, protons, quirks, and stuff.

And Jesus raising from the dead and his miracles are usually the basis for our belief in his being the son of God.

I just hope I didn't open a can of worms here.

no. i want to be god! *eyes glow*

'Course I wouldn't! I am a god!

Ok... seriously... no. I tend to be fairly skeptical when it comes to those matters... Probably would poke him pretty hard and ask if he was in his right mind... Then I would run off, tell my friends, and I'd be laughing for most of the rest of the day...

I’d ask snake Jesus some questions about his dad and the flaws in the bible if he couldn’t answers the questions any better then the average Christian I’d know his not the son/prophet of a god.

With the ori who are gods I’d ask for proof that they ascend their followers, if they’re all powerful it shouldn’t be any problem to give me some proof.

If they just levelled with me and told me they were really powerful aliens I’d probably be willing to worship them assuming they treat their followers well.

For all the Christians saying they would never believe a gouald was Jesus, what are you going to do if the real Jesus shows up? Will you accuse him of being an alien snake?

[GreyFox]

no

[Morgasshk]

I would not believe him/her to be god...

My idea of god is a non-being, a non-entity, that does not have a need or requirement to ever manifest it/her/himself...

And we would be able to tell about the technology, most humans aint THAT stupid... of course, we would recognize it as advanced, but we would know...

faith would require no tools or acoutrements, or glowing eyes, or blind worship... the goa-uld fit no know godlike or deity like profile in recent human history...

fair argument??

Well,

I think it would depend on the time frame here. If I was living thousands of years ago, and you brought a digital Timex watch with you, and a car that ran without horses. Then Yes, I might think you a god because of your "magic" items. However, in todays world? No. I would not believe that person to be a god. It all depends on the time...

You said pretty much what I would have said. Nice. =P

Back then: probably..

Now: No way. I would fight, and even if I died because I didn't believe that they were Gods, atleast I died free.

[NotAscended]

Nope, I'd never buy a Gouald as a god. A proper god needs to be all-knowing. The first question I would as is "Why does SciFi screw up their programming and put on fake wrestling?"

Since there is no answer I would find plausible, I would know the Gouald is not all-knowing, and therefore, not a god.

[FallenAngelII]

Anyone who needs bodyguards is obviously not a God. A God does not die from a gunshot wound.

[takinspace]

I'd only believe he was a god if he showed up on my doorstep and said, "hey, look, I'm a god, I could show you all sorts of neat stuff to prove it but before I unveil myself to the masses I need a good single malt scotch. Do you have single malt scotch? 'Cause we've got beer and all but we just can't seem to get that scotch thing right. And hey, where can I find Alanis Morrissette? Got something to chat about with her."

You should read a comicbook series published by Vertigo and written by Garth Ennis called Preacher. Be warned though, you might find it highly offensive if you're a particularly devout Christian.

[Admiral Mappalazarou]

No, I watch this documentary called Stargate. Basically it covers the idea of false gods reigning over other worlds, lol

[SoulReaver]

We have many fanatics in this world both in terms of Chirstians and Muslims. So let's say you met a Gouald who claimed to be either Jesus or Allah (both being the biggest World religions, I don't he's going to get the same reaction and support claiming to be Set or Ra these days) of course he's not going to tell you he's a Gouald or a snake, come on! Anyways, this guy has glowing eyes, can read your thoughts with his hand, is invulnerable to most of our weapons (I don't imagine us testing a nuke on him) and not only that but can cure cancer and AIDS and RAISE THE DEAD! Would you believe he was God? Serious answers please.

Of course not, but I'd still be afraid nonetheless :|

Now that is the first comment I can really agree with.
