This is entirely hypothetical. You may take my question how you want, and you may answer how you want.


What if suddenly God made an appearance to man? All men would understand that God exists and would recognize his almighty power. Then suddenly, God tells his children to praise him no longer. God tells his people that he neither requires nor accepts any praise. What if God said there is nothing beyond life, and he grants man one term of existence in his universe. After their term of life is over, they are nothing. There is no heaven and once you die, you go to nothingness. What if he tells man that he does not intervene in any affairs and does not hear their prayers? After his statements, he suddenly vanishes and leaves man there speculating on God.

My questions to you are as follows:

- What if God said there was no heaven and after life is nothingness?

- What if God said he does not hear your prayers and frankly doesn't care about your affairs during your life?

- What would happen to humanity after God's disappearance?


My response to my own question:


1. This wouldn't mean much to me. I consider myself agnostic. I would love if there was a heaven that all of my loved ones could go to and be reunited with one another after death. However, if God said such a thing does not exist, I would not care as much as I think I should. I've already accepted the fact that God likely does not exist, and after death is nothingness, as stated in my questions.

2. If God said this, again, it wouldn't mean much. I don't pray, and again, I've accepted the fact that God likely does not exist.

3. In my opinion, here is what would happen.




1 - 3 Months: Anarchy. People would riot, thinking nothing matters anymore. Their lives are meaningless and they have nothing to live for anymore.



After 4 Months: People return to normalcy. Church officials will likely spew their normal bullshit saying God was merely testing the faith of his children.

This is merely my idea on the matter. I definitely do not expect anyone to write nearly as much as I did, but write something. I'd like to know how some of you think.

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. John 20:29

I'd have to agree with you. Though the anarchy would last longer imo. Maybe 5 or 6 months. Then once the church has regained control things would become more normal but I really doubt they'd ever fully get back to the way things are now.

If he exists, he can die, and if he can die he is not a god. If he does not exist, why worship him? If he exists as a function of our belief, why worship him?

I would be so happy. I personally feel like God is an oppressor, the idea of being able to live my life how I want to my fullest desire and potential without worry about a divine being killing and/or torturing me for it, I'd take that in a heartbeat.

He isn't white, Jesus came from the Middle East. That's just what Europeans decided they wanted him to look like

I already know this, yet the Jesus in pictures is a white Jesus.

Not to mention all of his followers have strange names, are you really going to find a Peter in the middle-east?

I'm just glad you understand that you're agnostic rather than atheist like most pubescent morons.
