How would you react.........

[JJ50]

…...........if it could be proved beyond any shadow of doubt no god or afterlife exist, when you die you are no more?

I would be relieved that once my life is over that is it, end of story. I am of the opinion that is the case, but of course there is the outside possibility I am wrong.

I have asked this question on forums before, often the reaction from devout believers is that god/afterlife exist and there is no other possibility.

Over to you.

Proven to just me or to everyone?

If it's just me then I would be ever so slightly disappointed that I won't get to say "told you so" to all the theists in atheist heaven.

If it is everyone then I would very happy that I get to say "told you so" right now.

But what would be the consequences of such a prove or knowledge...I would not be around to talk with you and many others would disapear to...what would you be left with? Good people? Maybe you could have a good talk with the hells angels and banditos and the drug cartels?

The problem for me would be that, if there is no afterlife, there is no rectifying of the injustices and crimes and sins of this life. I believe that God is good, and therefore just, and that therefore there must be an afterlife, such that the last shall be first, and the first, last, as Jesus promised.

Of course, if you don't believe in God, or a final reckoning, there is no justification for this kind of reasoning. And one might as well hog all the wealth and power available to one, and deny it to others, and live this life as profligately as one can afford. But I am not sure that would be 'moral'.

Best wishes, 2RM.

Well, there would be one fewer reason for war and oppression for a start. People might be nicer to each other knowing this is the only life they get.

Better adjusted people who don't off themselves because they cannot handle the lack of an afterlife.

Good people?

Sure.

Maybe.

Don't see what this have to do with the topic.
