If you found out one day that outside of God, all the rest is untrue, would you live your life differently?

God is within ourselves. It is the spirit that is within us, Truth starts with us. The absolute truth is only one but we interpret it differently. Who decides whose truth is untrue or whose path to truth is false?

I see your point, and at the same time I understand why many answerers here tend to be aggressive.
Yeah, one day everyone realizes that life without God has no meaning, but this moment comes too late, when the rest of life is behind. I think it happens so because we, on our endless journey , try everything that promises us love, security and significance. The problem is that there's no real security or significance outside of God.
I used to think I realized it, but as I live I try new things, new adventures and set new goals, as if they would make me more happy. So, even though we may realize futility of existence without God, we sometimes choose to ignore it.
I will think more about your question, I think all believers should.

good question! Very concept scary. on the only hand, i'd say sure, i'd change the way I stay. i position self belief in God, and far of what motivates me is understanding that sometime i am going to pick to furnish an account for a way I actual have lived my existence. on the different hand, basic experience tells me there's a pick to have guidelines and guidelines, and easy decency to be sure that a society to operate authentic: which makes me imagine i'd nevertheless proceed to stay ethically. i'd ought to assert, all issues considered, i'd likely change truly, yet no longer as significantly as some may imagine.

I did find this out beyond any shadow of a doubt.
It changed my life completly. Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

No, I would still retain my standards of kindness, compassion & acceptance of all people. I am and still will be an atheist and treat my fellow humans with dignity and respect, not because some god/bible/prophet says that I should, but because it's the right thing to do irregardless of religion or beliefs.

No, I feel like everyone should live their life in an ethical way, and treat others as they want to be treated.
I don't need a religion to teach me morals.
