• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

If you had proof of no god would you show the world?

it's a little hard to prove a negative

other than that we have mountains of circumstantial evidence already so uh
 
No. Many people would denounce it, and I'm not one to fight for a certain religious view, even if I know I'm right. There's nothing wrong with believing in something. If I believed strongly in something, I certainly wouldn't want someone coming around and telling me that it doesn't exist.
 
I already have the proof, it's called a brain.


You could show them the proof, but they probably wouldn't embrace the truth even if you handed it to them on a silver platter, because they don't have a brain. Simple. <3
 
Yes, but what good would it do? The thing about believing in a god who can do anything is that there is never a way to disprove it to believers. No matter how conclusive and how perfect the evidence is against the existence of a god or gods, they'd always say that it's his will that we never see him, or that he's testing us, or whatever they can pull out of their asses to assure to themselves that they're right. I'm not saying all theists would do that, there are a lot with common sense, but fanatics would just tune out the evidence completely.

That said, yes. The world should know the (hypothetical) truth.
 
No way. If even a small percentile of people found this out then the whole world's balance could be thrown off. If it wern't for the promise of an afterlife to some people they would be unable to fuction in socity, not that they do it well now anyways. The belife of a reward type of afterife keeps a lot of people from doing things like murder, crime, and adultury. Sure it doesn't stop everyone, but it does stop many.
Not to mention the chaos that would surely unfold in the middle east where people suicide bomb others in prayer to their God.

For the sake of the world I wouldn't tell.
 
Yes. Even though it might cause some problems, I'd still do it. People do indeed deserve to know the truth.

It probably wouldn't change much anyways.
 
I wouldn't get the entire world's attention, but I would release it to some scientists or something. Free spread of information is great, but if I show the entire world at once, I'll be dead within a week.

also opal's post
 
i'd probably give the proof to some scientists or whatever, so they can do stuff with it. i wouldn't really want the label of being the guy who proved god wrong. D:

first two, fair enough, but who gives a crap about adultery.

i mean, i agree that people who adulterate are in most cases jerks, but it's not like society would collapse if more people started sleeping around.
 
What if God visits you in a vision and tells you to tell people to stop worshiping him?
 
Well, I'd probably try to make it public and let people decide for themselves whether to go on believing or not for themselves. There'd be nothing for me to gain by just forcing it onto every single religious person out there until they change their mind, and it'd probably just upset/offend them. Of course few would take much notice anyway.

Of course, I'd keep it tucked away so I can present it if I ever come across any of those people who are so sickeningly devout they use their faith to piss everybody off, and just generally turn into total pricks. >:3
 
agreeing with all of the people here who say it wouldn't matter

one of the key parts of religion is ignoring anything that denounces it

that is why it still exists
