I have 100% proof God does not exist (red pill/blue pill)

[Larry]

I have 100% proof that god does exist: Philly isn't going to win a superbowl again.

In fact, there is a (slim, IMO) chance that the Cardinals will win one before Philly does.

Definitely true. And good response!

For many people "God" helps them to be better people, if they knew he didn't exist, would they not want to know it because they fear it might make "worse people."

Is religion/belief in a god almost a human neccessity? Maybe for some.

How do you think the indisputable "proof" that God does exist would affect people who don't believe now and how they live their lives?...

[Thiebear]

It depends:
Do both pills have the same calorie and or tri fats?

I'm an atheist and wouldn't show the world their beliefs were wrong if i Absolutely could prove it... It would be epic destruction. I'd prefer not to have the death of millions on my conscious.

Yes we have those also.

For some there would be drastic change, others wouldn't need to change anything but their Sunday schedule.

Assuming its the Christian God.

Califan007:
Finding out there was 100% proof of god would probably freak out those that believe more.
"most are not living up to their promises".

If it was Alah: were all doomed. burka's are not a mans best friend.

Do you think it would be similar in the situation you've posed: where it's "proven" beyond doubt that God does NOT exist, and for those who did believe some would make drastic changes and some wouldn't need to change anything but their Sunday Schedule?...

So you feel those who don't believe are "living up to" God's "promises" right now than those who do?

I don't have to live up to a promise in something i don't believe in.
I'm not lying to God on a daily basis.

All i have to do is to "begin" being faithful.

Edit: I guess it wouldn't be faithful anymore but living by the rules of the "one" known.

My guess is that it would be similar in both cases.

[techboy]

Of course I'd want to know. As a group, though, even hypothetically, it'd probably be better if people didn't know.

To paraphrase Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black, a person is a wonderful, thoughtful, careful individual. People, on the other hand, are a mass of boorish, stupid, dangerous ignoramuses.

No, what I meant was, you said that you thought people who believe in God would freak out more than those who don't if it were proven that God really did exist...and you said "most are not living up to their promises" as, I assumed, a reason WHY they would freak out more.

For some reason im reminded of the scene from The Simpsons movie where the end is near and everyone from Moe's runs into the Church and everyone in the Church runs into Moe's.

How hard is this to understand:

at least 2 billion people have been worshiping a hoax.
If its Allah - Christains are going to Freak out for doing it wrong this long
If its God - Islam is giong to freak out for doing it wrong and so strict.
If its neither - HA! Everyone is doing it wrong

I only have to begin. Most of the world would have to change their entire life.

Not to mention those doing "naughty" things while worshipping, because now they KNOW Gods been watching.
And they have some making up to do.

There's a scene in Arthur Clarke's Childhood's End (have I mentioned how much I like that book?), where "The Supervisor", the leader of the extraterrestrial "Overloards", who's (loosely) in charge of Earth, is asked about the reaction of the world's religious people towards him (and his race).

He responds that, in his opinion, the worlds religions will fear his advanced people, but not so much because they believe that his advanced people will outright disprove their various religions. But more because of the fear that their advanced science and technology will simply eliminate so much of the mysteries of existance and eliminate the people's need for religion.

The line I recall is "So far as I'm aware, human Science has never explicitly disproven the existence of Thor. but he has few followers today."
