If God/gods/godesses were proven false?

Would you still cling to your beliefs?

Would you be terrified of life now that there is no fairy tale ending?

Update:

Well this did not turn out as planned. I guess hypothetical are not on the agenda of some folks.

The bible hoax van be duplicated, given the same unlearned community and largely scientifically ignorant world.

Even the bible itself would fail to take hold if it were introduced now, opposed to then.

    I doubt many would change anything about their lives even if gods were proven to exist/proven to have never existed.

    I'm a Christian. Of course I would not believe in God if he was proven false. What is amazing is that atheists have an opportunity to prove the bible (and thus God) a hoax by a well-established, time-tested, never-failed, fool-proof way: duplicating the hoax. But they won't even give it a try. All they have to do is just like the ancients did. Write a moral-based story, include all these fantastic supernatural miracles in it (like walking on water, raising the dead, calming storms) that you or your friends did, make a few copies for everyone and then sit back and watch the masses flock to their new religion. Easy peasy japanesy, right? (And don't say Mohammed or Joseph Smith already did that because they didn't. They didn't include the most important part, the miracles, in their false books.)

    Obviously that would be impossible unless--unless the miracles actually did happen. Hence "Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name." (Jn 20:30-31).

    Whilst gods cannot be proven false, the bible can be shown to be untrue. Especially in cases like Leviticus 14, it's quite obvious that many christians cling to a baseless religion.

    CC: No, if a god was proven true, I would believe in it.

    They are only proven false in the minds of the non-believers. Those who know the Lord already have their proof.

    How about proving to yourself that you are not alive and this world is not here? You already know it is, so that would be silly wouldn't it? Same as trying to prove that God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit don't exist. It's already been proven to all true believers that they do exist.

    Let's knock the obvious avoidance reply off the table:

    "What if they were proven true? Would you cling to disbelief?"

    Just answer the question.

    No one has proved that gods and goddesses don't exist.

    No. Of course not. But that has never and will never happen.
