Answer 1

If I discovered that God doesn't exist I would be astray. With having a religion comes morals and values and a way of life. You learn what not to do and what to do. You get inner peace. Without God I think I would have no meaning to life. Also I don't think I would have wisdom.

Answer 2

if there was the true realisation that there is no god then i think that i would have to completely change the way that i live my life and abide by less of my conscience and more of my inner wants and instincts, because if there is no god then tere is no h**l and if there are neither of those then there is no afterlife which in turn would allow me to just do what i wanted to do without the fear that it would cost me something, there would me no gain or loss at death it would just be pure blissful and nothing

Answer 3

if i find out there isnt a god on the day that i die, then i would be alrightt with it. better safe than sorry, ryt? :)

Answer 4

You wouldnt have to worry so much on being this perfect perosn that the bible says you are. It doesn't mean your a bad peron because I still have morals and goals in life. My family is very religious and iv'e gone to a catholic school but I never believed in god. Life is the same but you don't worry about syaing one cuss word Or feeel as if someones watching you 24/7.

Answer 5

It wouldn't make a bit of difference to me.

Answer 6

It seems that many would simply go on pretending as though this had never been discovered.

Answer 7

If I were to discover that god doesn't exist, wow, that would be a great evidence to charge against people who are constantly shooting curses at me, that one day I will make repayment for my "impudent disobedience", my "arrogant self-sufficiency", my "blasphemic attitudes" on pagodas and temples etc. They would have to keep their mouth shut and abandon the habit of dehumanizing me, I would no longer be obsessed with the vindictive god they fabricated and that would put an end to my schizophrenia.

Source:

I had to live with an old relative who frequently called upon the "Buddhist god" and "karma" to punish and frighten me when I showed any sign of disobedience.

I was not allowed to refuse an unjust command, to criticize the elders or anyone, or even to think bad of anybody, because firstly I would get whipped and secondly the "karma" would put me in eternal damnation (to h**l literally) because I was a "bad" child. My childhood was full of terror with that kind of mutated Buddhism, because I was physically very weak and had no choice but to obey, and that fearsome "Buddhist god" frequently appeared in my mind each time I attempted to do the above mentioned things.

Answer 8

We'd just look for someone else to worship and believe in.

Answer 9

I use to fear for my mother. She calimed herself an athiest. She didn't stop me from going to church, I wanted to go to sunday school and all that stuff. But I feared for my mom ( I was about 7 or so) I was told that if you didn't believe you would go to h**l (kinda thing) But my mom was a good woman I mean really good and that question became a quest "if my mom is a good woman and by choice follows the commandments yet also says she doesn't believe in god would she god to h**l. That's a true and unresolved story.

I my self believe in mother nature more that I believe in God but I somehow always find myself useing his name in a meaningful sentance. I would accept that there is no god as I somehow always already knew that. But, I know that there is something we werer born to believe in. Something that all of us already know deep inside we cannot deny this it's inside. I like to think that what ever the truth is I am ready to accept it IF it makes senc and feels right. there would be no doubt.

If it doesn't feel right then it isn't.

Answer 10

The answer inherent in your question works for me.

Answer 11

humans have the need to belive in something supiror even the atheist have some sort of spirituality so people would just creat anothe way to look at spirituality and move on
