For those of you that believe in a God, would you say your relationship with the big man is more relaxed or serious?

When I say relaxed, I don’t mean that your belief is any less than the more serious but, for example, my dad laughs at me because I am very jokey about my relationship with God. I often say, when pissed off for example, things like “I’m going to have to have a word with the big man upstairs” or “what exactly is are you playing at?” whilst looking up at the sky. I have always been like this in my belief. I am not afraid to inform God that I am not happy with his decisions for me when it comes to certain situations always tongue in cheek of course, he can handle it!!!

I know many people who dare not joke about their faith and who wouldn’t dream of “talking” to God or questioning their circumstances in the way that I do. I often wonder if this is because their belief is stronger than mine or whether I am just much more comfortable to admit that I can’t say for certain if there is a God but I am able to accept that and just believe what feels right for me.

If there is a God then he’ll either send me to hell for my backchatting or he’ll respect me for saying “dude, that was uncool!”

What is your relationship with God like? Do you give him a peice of your mind like I do or do you take whatever is thrown your way quietly?

I don’t want this to turn into a religion vs atheism arguement so I really hope that those of you who don’t believe will not take the piss too much out of this question!
