If you were given concrete proof that your personal religion was false (read the WHOLE question)?

but told some other religion was true (irrefutably, but not told which religion that was) which one would you switch to in hopes it was the real one? (including atheism's lack of religion)





yes, this is hypothetical. yes, when i say proof, it means irrefutable!!!





just indulge meIf you were given concrete proof that your personal religion was false (read the WHOLE question)?
I'm not sure. If their doctrine and morals went against what I believe then I'm not sure I could.If you were given concrete proof that your personal religion was false (read the WHOLE question)?
I'm going to have to go Buddhist.
Buddhism. I'm halfway there anyway, except Buddhists don't drink.
I agree, atheists are very closed-minded.
The fact is every religion implies theirs is the truth and others are lies. Did you hear anyone that say, ';that other religion is okay.';?


What would then be your basis for a concrete proof of falsity in your personal religion?


Most that change faith are the ones who cannot find the answer to their questions, who cannot find happiness or solution to their problems, who did not see eye to eye with a co-member or authority with the church, who found from a friend a much convincing practice and belief in faith.


I personally found my religion as false and have convinced me that none whatsoever can make me join any. I did not become an Atheist either because I still believe in God, I just do not believe in the religions that claim for the same God but differ in their aspects of God.


I am more inclined in the Buddhist way of life that works for his own spiritual journey.
if it was proven god exists and one of the religions is true, I wouldn't join this religion, I wouldn't join any religion





god can exist all he wants but I'm not going to start suddenly worshiping him
Since I do not claim any particular ';church'; or a ';named '; religion besides ';Christian';, I would be going on as I am..... a re-born Spirit filled child of God. :)
I would pray about it and ask God to show me the way. If I have the right heart condition he would do that. Then I would join whatever religion he guided me to. That is exactly why I joined the one I belong to now. The moment I read the first book they gave me, along with my King James Version of the bible, entitled ';The Truth That Leads To Eternal Life'; I knew it was the right religion. I have been a Jehovah's Witness for over 24 years now and I am absolutely sure this is the right religion. No doubt whatsoever.
Denominational change or basic religion change


ie baptist to holiness


or christian to hindu?





I guess I'll answer both:


Baptist to Assembly of God


Christian to Agnostic (since if I have irrefutable proof that my God wasn't real, I'd be agnostic.)
Well, just to play along, and only to play along, I guess I would be an Atheist.
Judism. As the precurser to Christianity, it's the obvious choice.
That is a tough one maybe Hinduism
If I had irrefutable proof that Christianity was wrong the only one I could even imagine turning to would be Judaism, so I'd hope that one was ';the'; one.
sticking to athiesm gives me relief... there is nothing rational about religion...
I'm probably opening a can of worms here but...





It would depend on the proof a lot of the religions i have read about ( i am by no means an expert) follow a similar core belief set. With the exception of a few religions and Atheism.


so that's a hard question two give an honest answer to. I feel that if you prove 1 (with the exception of atheism) wrong it will in kind prove several others wrong.
christianity is one true religion. all others will be hellbound
Concerning me, in fact, I have a concrete proof that my religion Islam is 100% true, so a true can't be false, hence your question impossible to answer as it is impossible to be
Sorry, I don't have a good answer for you. Tough question as I am a witch with a Jewish Christian back ground. I guess If one of these was proven false I would go more to one of the other two.
Since they wouldn't tell me ';which one'; was the ';right'; one, and I had to take my best guess and find one that I could live with, probably Buddhism.
After believing whole-heartedly in one thing, then finding it was completely wrong, wouldn't the normal reaction be to just give up on it all ? Once bitten, twice shy and all that ? It would be like being totally committed to Amway, then finally realising it's just pyramid selling.
The only sensible thing to do if you've got proof you're wrong is to change and adapt, it seems to me.
I don't know. I would probably stick to Christianity no matter what-I got this far with it, might as well ride it out.
If there was irrefutable proof that another belief system was true, then yes, I'd start trying to figure out which system. My goal in life would be to figure out which one it is.
I want the Truth no matter which religion has it.....or even no religion at all. I will go wherever the Truth is, no matter how many words I have to eat, no matterhow foolish I have looked for however many years of my life I was wrong. (I've made large changes in my religious beliefs before so I don't say this idly.)





If someone had irrefutable proof that I was wrong, I would be worshipping with that person (or not worshipping as the case may be) that DAY!
