Ohhh yes very fast :)
You never know...one day eh? ;)
But you can guarantee if the more faster things we have and the longer we have them...the more we start to moan that there isn't something faster. There is no pleasing us :rolleyes:

But there is nothing wrong with wanting more...and more...and more...damn right, we gotta be greedy B)

Wouldn't was be the past participle.

i.e. "If there was a God" suggests that God used to be but does not exist anymore. Which by definition does not make any sense, as without being infinite God cannot exist. A finite being is not God

So it would have to be "If there is a God". Or even better. "If God really exists".

I have to say this is my particular favourite. Clear and succinct, with no extraneous material.

I congratulate you sir. You are indeed a wordsmith.

I take it you are also an expert public speaker. A master orator as it were.

It is actually:

"If there WERE a God."

So maybe you can learn it with him and Google the term "subjunctive"

Hobbes,

Enlighten me, I am fascinated.

What is wrong with "If there is a God .... ".

Or my preference "If God exists .... ".

You are posting something contrary to known fact, implied by the question itself, so you must use the "subjunctive mood"

Source

Quote:

subjunctive as:

adj. 2. in grammar, designating or of that mood of a verb used to express condition, hypothesis, contingency, possibility, etc., rather than to state an actual fact: distinguished from imperative, indicative.
n. a verb in the subjunctive mood; specifically, the subjunctive mood.

Few things annoy me more than to hear, “If I was you ...” Most who actually know that there exists a verbal mood called the subjunctive agree that it appears to be vanishing in common usage. Earlier in the twentieth century, grammarians and linguists proclaimed the subjunctive's death and argued that this was no big loss, as its historical role in English had been weak and inconsistent; some even went so far as to say that in Modern English its usage is “pretentious”. The fools ! The subjunctive mood is a beautiful and valuable component of the English language, and instead of dying out, it actually is enjoying a subtle revival.

I guess I got this hammered into me while learning Spanish, I had never really acknowledged it before then, and it was certainly stressed in class.

So "is" is in the "indicative" mood, a statement of fact http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/indicative

Your statements should be "If there were to be a God" and "If God were to exist" indicating the conditional nature of the statement.

I will admit to you JP that I often don't use the mood as it "sounds" wrong to the unaccustomed ear.

What do you think?

i found the answer with the help of Microsoft Word, i entered:

'If there is a God would he eat chips?'

and it corrected it to:

'If there were a God would he eat chips?'

ive seen a couple of threads change name recently. have a poll on this ones name

If there is a god

if there were a god

if there was a god

if god exists

if god did be there and e' liked me and stuff

have i missed any?

its our language we choose how to use it :rolleyes:

I think, were there to be a poll ( catch that Hobbes?), that I would vote for "if god did be there and e' liked me and stuff"
simply because the "and stuff" includes the possibility of the infinite, implicit in " god did be there".

Of course, as always, I asked myself " what would Bishop Spong say?"

Hobbes

"You are posting something contrary to known fact ... "

If we set aside the apparent tautology, I don't agree that I am posting something contrary to "known fact".

As may faith patently outweighs your grammar, I have to reject your argument.

Sorry, I know it's harsh but that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.
