To the Religious, What would you do if god was proven to your

What sort of proof are we talking about? Is it a white-robed god appearing and quoting his own scripture or like an astronomer finds the 'made by god' sticker on the edge of the universe? Because, if the former, I do whatever the omnipotent thing wants if it's threatening. If it's the latter, I go on not caring about a boring distant Spinozan god.

Depends if it changes anything or not.

I'm religious and if God were ever actually disproved then I would convert to atheism.

You can not prove a negative. The existence of God is not scientific, see the flying teapot argument. Religion is and should be based on faith, not reason. This attempt to prove God or the divine was and still is one of the biggest wastes of human intellect and time.

If God was 'disproved', we should invent another one.

I wouldn't really care and I wouldn't change my behavior simply because he existed. If he was a nice god who had my back and was super wise and could rationally show me how I should behave, I'd probably listen to him, but I wouldn't obey him just because.

The problem is not so much that god might not exist, it's which religion to follow. If there turned out to be a deist god, that would be fascinating but I don't think my life would change in any deep way. OTOH, if it turned out the YEC or the Muslims are 100% correct, then I'd become a satanist and rage against the futility of raging against an omnipotent tyrant.

Would the threat of punishment for disobeying them not be enough to motivate you to do as they tell you?
I'm not really fond of my understanding of the Christian God either, but if they or any other god were proven to exist I wouldn't be so stubborn I'd defy them and endure whatever excruciating punishments they'd have lined up just because I disagreed with them.

Probably get on the Gnostic train.

No, because they would be a false god. Basically the demiurge. Simply because a true god wouldn't give humans reason and independent thinking just so he could tell them to ignore that. Then again, if he truly was omnipotent and could change my nature to where I'd be perfectly happy and content doing his evil will, then there'd be no reason to disobey him. But that's making the assumption an omnipotent god would care at all and would be contradictory and insane. So the more likely explanation is that this god is basically a supernatural, powerful tyrant, but not a being capable of designing or changing existence.

I'd simply say I was mistaken and study theology more. Thats pretty much it.

Fear might be a powerful motivator, but it's not a good one. So no.

Post 'Valisystem is real' in /rel/ threads

God exists as a collective conscience. That's what I believe in.


When I pray for something I want, it gets fulfilled and I feel at ease and at peace.
