In my comparative religions class our professor asked us to explain what we would do (those of us who are Christian - Muslims have a different assignment, etc) in essay form,
if we somehow got a tour of the Vatican archives and came upon a room that contained hundreds of documents explaining how Christianity was a political tool, made up by some organization, which slowly became the Catholic Church, and that Jesus was completely made up, the Bible was made up, the whole thing was an elaborate political hoax, etc.
You gather experts from around the world and they are shocked that, after reviewing it all, lo and behold, there is no refuting it, Christianity was completely made up! Jesus never existed at all and before you is more than enough evidence to bring, not only Christianity, but Islam and Judaism down.
We are to imagine that the evidence is irrefutable, if we don't believe something can be irrefutable, then we are to pretend that this is irrefutable.
How would we change?
