If your religion was proved right...?

Question

Say your deity appeared just like the pictures (or ideas) we have conceived and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that your religion was right....Jesus appears again, or maybe Allah comes down, maybe Buddha contacts the entire world at once through telepathy. Or atheists win and...nothing...thats it, they just win. What would happen? Now imagine that the same thing happened but for a different religion than your own...what would you do then? please answer both questions.

Answer 1

If I've been wrong all along, I'd do the head hitting the forehead thing and yell a Homer-esque "D'oh!"

^..^

Answer 2

To your first question: I would be so happy that I could see all of my friends and family and be with God for eternity.  To your 2nd question: if it turns out that the atheists were right? I would be so happy that I did all I could to be good, helping others and teaching my children morals and values so that I can have quality of life.  I'm just glad that there is a God that I will be with my family and friends forever.

Answer 3

As an atheist, I can't really answer the first part.  As to the second, were there to be evidence to support a religion, I would "believe" in that religion.  Whether I would follow the deity or deities is another question.

Answer 4

I have no religion and I'm not atheist so I'm just wingin' it. So I wouldn't care if either happened. I think that the Buddhist religion is the most believable though  

Answer 5

Atheism is a lack of belief, at any given time unless a particular religion or philosophy was proven right will be valid... even after a diety appeared atheism would still exist in the people who rejected it, but it would become a belief at that point, something to have faith in, not a lack there of. (... and Buddhism ... Horrible example for the point you're trying to make.  I think you have a very huge misconception of what it is.)

It wouldn't effect me much either way.  My belief can't be proven correct... part of my belief is that it's unknowable with our present technology and knowledge. If another religion was proven right it would only effect my belief if the deity started taking significant interest in the world or disproved the existence of all other deities.

Read the tenants of apathetic agnosticism to understand what I mean, I'll include them in the source list.

Answer 6

all of us have diff opinion...but all major religions have many similarities written in their scriptures......whtever is common, we should agree tht it is true....after that we will talk about differences

Answer 7

if i was right i won`t be surprised if was wrong i would say ``holly fuc*in sh*t i screwed it again ``

Answer 8

My religion is satanism and it is proved right because it is based on reality in every way

Answer 9

i would still have faith bc i know that Jesus Christ is my savior and it has already been proved.

Answer 10

Well we live in a Christian world where our holidays and law are governed by Christian values...so I guess people were forced into accepting it.  I'm not a Christian and don't like the idea of everyone having to follow their beliefs.  So in essence what you're asking in your question (the second part of your question) has already happened but without any proof that Christianity is the right religion.

Answer 11

First, atheism is not a religion.

Second, if a religion were proved 'right', it would no longer be a religion. It would be a fact.

Answer 12

Supposing it was somehow possible to prove that a god(s) does not exist,  I suspect a lot of people still would not accept it.

Supposing Christianity, for example, is proven true, I would begin mourning the lost souls, spending eternity in undue agony.

Answer 13

if it was proved beyond a shadow of a doubt i'd believe that religion  

Answer 14

"The correct answer is the Mormons, yes the Mormons"

Answer 15
