I need chearing up after the depressing state chrisitainty has gotten the world in. So Propose a silly light harted question. Which me and my partner have had a good laugh about many a time.
What would you do if christianity was all of a sudden proven to be true, and Jesus did come back?
Both me and my partner would become devout satanists or catholics and be forgiven for our sins. But we would go to the pub first, and get very very drunk. And decide if we wanted to be nice and warm and wear cool fetich gear, ot listent to harp music, and have ikkle fluffy wings, But then that raises the question of taking a bath? and How do you clean you Halo?
Sorry I know it's silly but I need a Laugh as I'm sure we all could do. As I laugh at my religion many a time as it can sometimes be down right Silly or even very Monty Python ish.
But thats another story.

Hi. I'm not sure if I understand what you are asking. Are you asking what others would do if "Christianity were proven right" and "Jesus came?"
Given the evil, abhorant, tyranical, sinister, demonic, childish nature of YHWH, let's hope Jesus would not bring his daddy with him.
As for Christianity being "proven true," it would not affect or effect me in the least. I live my life honestly, sanely, peacfully, and well. I strive to live in harmony with my neighbors, and treat them as I wish to be treated. If the fact that I am Wiccan and not Christian counts against me "when Jesus comes," that count against me is a reflection of evil on his part, not mine.
I live honestly and amiably because that is the way a person should live, not because some tyrant god will punish me if I do not. Coerced "morality" is not morality; "ethical" behavior at the point of a sword is not ethical behavior--- it is the behavior of a slave. Living well and harming none is its own reward: no need for a reward "in the after life." The time to be happy is here on Earth while one is alive. Part of the success in being happy is to help others be happy, and to prevent as much as possible the unhappiness of others.
No Jesus required. No Christianity required. No tyranical, punishing god required.
If "Christianity were proven true," I will live my life as I do now. If the Christian gods do not like it, their dislike of me would be excellent reason to despise them.
Fortunately, Christianity has already been falsified, so there is no danger in it being "proven right."
