How would you react if any religion turned out to be 100% true?

Depends on which, I suppose.

Well if it turns out the Jews had it right, I'd be pretty indifferent. The Jews don't believe there is punishment for nonbelievers.


If it turns out that I'm sure to be damned to eternal hellfire for being unconvinced of God's existence, I'd be pretty pissed.

This.

If it's the abrahamic god, I won't be too pleased. There is a looooot of nasty shit in all the holy books, if that's all 100% true then god help us. (irony)

If it's the abrahamic god but under the Cathar denomination, I'd be pretty happy actually <.<

If it's Shinto or something along those lines then I'd be more than happy, I'd be quite excited actually >.>

Continue on living my life as I were...

If it's not some form or descendant of Germanic Paganism then I'd be pissed.

How and when would we find out?  Like would the god just appear right now and show themself or like after death you spawn at heaven's gates?

I'd only be mildly content if that religion were zoroastrianism.

Depends on the religion.

I assume you'd like to know about Christianity specifically.

Quite frankly, it is impossible for Christianity to be 100% true, because its portrayal of God as all-loving and all-knowing is incompatible with the suffering that has happened for millennia, and will continue to happen forever.

So sure, all that shit could have happened, and god could be real, but god is certainly not the all-loving, benevolent deity his propaganda claims him to be.

So in that case I'd acknowledge that yes, god exists. I would then say fuck god, and go on not worshipping him.


If it's like buddhism or something, I guess I could see myself converting or whatever.

The only Monotheist religions I could see myself converting to are Zoroastrianism and Sikhism.

Odin marches on DC atop Sleipnir with an army of once dead pagan warriors.

While I don't consider myself an athiest, in the event of such a thing happening, I'd laugh.

Because only a few people in each religion genuinely act like their holy books teach.
So if their fairy tales are all true, they'd all be sent to hell anyway.

It'd be hilarious.

Buddhism is cool.

That is NOT Buddha. That is a Chinese monk by the name of Budai who was a follower of Buddhism. This is Buddha

I mean. If the Ancient Greek/Roman gods existed, that would be pretty sweet.

Guys, we have to ask ourselves, what if it's something dumb? Like Scientology.

I dunno, Zeus kinda seems like a dick.

Yeah, but the amount of dickings he did might mean you're a demigod.
That fucker was like Ghengis Khan.

Valhalla awaits.


Seriously though a fucking eternity of battle and feast would be the only afterlife I could accept.

No matter what god is real, I'd just be glad there would probably be an afterlife.

Would try and find a way to kill a God.

Can't be that hard.

If there was proof presented that could be replicated and reasonably confirmed as authentic and true, then I'd switch over without fuss. It's not about belief and faith for atheists, it's about reality.

This.

My Navy buddy/brother got hooked on Odinism ever since he joined the Navy, and has got me kind of caught up in it.  Viking Funerals, an afterlife of Feating and fighting.  It's all fucking awesome.

Until Ragnarok.  Fuck that.

i dont think i could ever be convinced of that, so it wouldn't really affect me.

If I was an Atheist still, I would say smite me ole smiter! But having a belief in a deity (an actual god) makes things too complicated, so I don't believe in such fantasy
