(In response to: "What would your reaction be if you died and found out that God exists, and so is hell and heaven?")
They do exist. If you'll read the Bible, my friend, you'll see that. They are every bit as real as the sky, or trees. And God is a name, the holiest there is. Therefore, as a name, it should start with a capital "G".

I imagine that i am going to laugh. A lot.
See, a lot of terribly opinionated people have very firm beliefs about who is and isn't going to make it into heaven, some of those opinions are mutually exclusive. They can't all be right.
So either some pompous Christains are going to be in Hell, with me, much with laughter,
Or we're all going to heaven. And a bunch of pompous judmental Christains are going to find themselves alongside gay muslim evolution professors, and commie druggie casual-sex exhibitionists and atheist D&D playing transexuals... and they have to share their afterlife, without being able to see anyone burning in the lake of fire walking around Paradise all butt-hurt. Muchly much with the laughter.
And, no, He does not ever introduce himself as God. He says, I am the Lord, thy God. It's a position, not a name.
Even the Bible doesn't say it's a name. It's a title, like "Lord" or "Messiah."
It seems true that the most religiously devout tend to be least educated.
God is a name, the holiest there is
Princess Celestia is a God:

Therefore, as a name, it starts with a 'P'.
...but if you want 'Holy', there's Queen Chrysalis. As she's nicknamed 'Cheeselegs', you'll find she's the Holiest there is. /)^3^(\

OK, cool.
Now, what would your reaction be if you died and found that Brahma exists?
"And God is a name..."
The English word god continues the Old English god (guþ, gudis in Gothic, guð in Old Norse, god in Frisian and Dutch, and Gott in modern German), which is derived from Proto-Germanic *gudán.
So, no, it isn't. And if it was a name, why does it not appear in the original bible texts, rather than the Hebrew/Greek/Latin/etc. words used?
"They do exist. If you'll read the Bible, my friend, you'll see that."
They do not exist. If you'll read the Bible with an open mind , you'll see that.
Confused?
