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.
