How would finding out there is no God make you feel?

This is obviously a question aimed only at people who believe in God. For arguments sake, let us say somehow..scientists prove God doesn't exist. As in, they have 100% concrete evidence. Don't ask how one could have 100% evidence God isn't real, that isn't the point.

The point is if you found out this..what would you do? Would it change the way you live your life at all? Would you experience some kind of emotional crisis at this news?

I know some people would just never in a million years accept any evidence that says God isn't real, but again for the sake of argument lets say whatever evidence they have convinces you it's legit.

I'd walk around with a smug "See I told you so" look on my face all day, and I would make so many friends who appreciate how right I always am.

At least if this happened maybe places like churches wouldn't get tax exempt status anymore.

Which they shouldn't be getting anyways.

I think the issue of tax exemption would be a little far down on the list of reactions and considerations that people would make after this revelation. I'm thinking more along on the lines of fires, riots, murders, etc. All the fun stuff.

Upset by the lack of deeper meaning in the universe.

Probably pissed off by shit like this that some atheists would probably do:

I'm fine with religious and atheist people, it's when people are smug prideful dicks about what they believe or don't believe that rubs me the wrong way.

I laugh at those people. Smugly. 😎

Sure its the point.
Believers dont have evidence.
Atheists dont, either.
Both have faith in their beliefs.
Haha.

The point is more how people would handle the news. I'm sure some would just bury their heads in the sand, since some already do that in the modern age(people who believe dinosaurs chilled with humans and the earth's age numbers only in the thousands despite concrete evidence to the contrary).

Dinosaurs have survived into our modern time.

But that isn't what they mean when they say that.

"How would finding out there is no God make you feel?"

I would be astonished, but it would not change any of my beliefs.

Given that science has limits in the natural world, while God is not bound to one.

TBH I'd say that your question is flawed.

But sure why not extrapolate a bit:

Perhaps we could learn that there is no God after we die?

You could have said: then what about your life, would you be content to know this after you died and you cannot re-live what happened?

My answer is yes, I could die peacefully after following Christianity even if there is noone beyond.

Simple reason is that Christianity promotes objective morality, is the foundation of Western civilization and generally provides a very compassionate and fullfilling philosophy of life.

1 Corinthians 15:12-22 sums it up:
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Paul himself says the life of a Christian is in vain if Jesus did not rise from the dead, which is different from your initial question, Surtur, but does describe the vanity of Christianity apart from Jesus' resurrection.

I agree with Stigma as well on his first statement in this thread.

I would find Lucy. Kick him in the nuts. Steal all his stuff and rape any of his beloved female family members. Then I would look at him and say "There aint no God, so Congrats buddy". Then I would walk away with a smug look on my face.
