WVUforREDSKINS Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Assuming the above is true (which it isn't) would you want to know the truth, or would you rather not know and go on believing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Who would not want to hear? Nah, I'd rather be ignorant on purpose. Come on now. There will ALWAYS be some people who won't believe it even if they hear it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I'd probably still prefer not to know either way (assuming "God" is representing more than just the Christian god). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will ALWAYS be some people who won't believe it even if they hear it though. Probably a lot of people wouldn't want to hear. Even if it there is no god, people feel religion/faith helps them in their everyday lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 How so? I think its a damn interesting question? So let me get it straight. You've got a red pill that'll tell me whether God exists or not...or I can take the blue pill and keep believing whatever I want. So how's that proof that God doesn't exist again?

Big Weirdo Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 If the question were completely true then who wouldn't want to hear the proof? I'd love to know. Being agnostic I'd love to get a final definitive answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being agnostic I'd love to get a final definitive answer. Agreed. If someone told me they had proof that could not be debated, I'd completely hear them out. But then again, much like my buddy Matt, I'm agnostic, so it would clear up a lot of the things I wonder. I think it's funny some of you are quick to discount WVU's post, it's a good question. If you don't want to think about your reaction to it, then say that but don't try to rag on the man for asking a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 It's literally impossible to do anything that would prove God's existence one way or another, short of dying...so I'd assume that taking the pill would kill me and I would find out for myself that way lol. So I'd vote "No", because I'll be dying on my own some day anyway, no need to rush it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there is a deeper question here: are people more concerned with truth or with with personal comfort/securtiy (probably not the best term but I don't know what else to call it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Guy. Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 LOL my friends and I have this type of discussion all the time when inebriated. The question we use is like this Say you went back in time to the time of all the prophets and you find out they were all shams and quacks and you come back with definitive evidence (for the sake of argument this evidence cannot be refuted). Do you tell the world all religion is false or let people go on as they were? Most people say they wouldn't tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably depends on the individual, of course... I think a better question would be, if it were possible to know (while alive lol) beyond all doubt that God really does/does not exist, how would that knowledge change how you live your life?
