hypothetically now
put yourself at Woodstock, youre with your friends and its night and youre all camping waiting for the next day, not a care in the world. then all of a sudden some narc lets loose 10,000 rattlesnakes and they start to bite people. killing them as the poison goes throo their bodies. one bites you and you have a less than 10 minutes to live. Jimmy Hendrix gets on stage and has a fake snake wrapped around his guitar and says if you got bit by a snake just look at my guitar and you wont die. you logic kicks in and says no that makes no sense i have to get some antivenin fast. but you look around and see your friends who looked at the fake snake guitar and they are changed inexplicably. would you look at the guitar?

If I were a non-believer for whatever reason, I would probably look at the guitar while crying in the fetal position. Then It would kick in... Jimmy hendricks on stage? In some strange place? And soo many snakes? What the heck is going on!?
Either the next thing that would happen is that I would wake up or I would die in terror.

If Jimi Hendrix played his guitar even without a bite or snake, I would never take my eyes off it till the last note faded out!
But yeah, I'd look, what would it cost me?
Is this supposed to convince me to devote my life to some religion created by a power hungry Roman Emperor with no scruples about ruining the best Message ever preached?

Your trying to catch non believers out and the fact is you cant.. Its a belief REMEMBER THAT!
I have said all along that I am happy to be proven wrong in regards to my belief on god. If there turns out to be a god, well guess what I was wrong aye.... But the fact is, no one can ever prove it, and from what I have researched I have come up with my own conclusion that god does not exist, I did not hear it from someone, I wasnt told, I came up with that on my own, so it is 100% my own belief! Asking a hyperthetical question like you have is stupid as your trying to make a point out of something that has no relation to believing in god.
You said that jimi hendrix said look at the guitar and you will be fine and that ppl around me were doing it and they were sweet.. well common sense says look at the guitar aye because if its helping others its gonna help me.. You can see that it works..
Its like I was told to believe in god and I did but then I researched it and now I dont.. If I was told to look at that guitar I would, if it didnt work well so be it! Do you get it?
I really dont think its that hard to understand, but obviously it is!
Any question you have for non believers, replace non believer with believer and ask yourself the same question and I guarantee it sounds pretty stupid too you.. as it does too us!

And this proves that there is a G-d in heaven? I am sorry but you have not understood what you have read. Science informs us that poison kills; the Master of the Universe put in place nature and natural laws for a reason. Meaning in Torah is like finding the heart of an onion, we peel off the surface and peel off another layer and so on. Each layer we get through we have a deeper understanding of the text and learn to read it in another manner. I am afraid that you are still on the surface with talking snakes and voices from whirlwinds. This is pre-school religion. When you understand what you have read you will not be so keen to see human beings, whom G-d created and loves, as mere salvation and conversion fodder.
You will not heed what I have said to you, and for this I am sorry, but you cannot even understand what I have said to you. But maybe one of your readers will understand this so I have not completely wasted my time. Shalom.

Yeah easy question.. Woodstock had no outdoor lighting so Jimi Hendrix was not on the stage at night..kind of makes the scenario pointless now doesn't it.
I only do hypothetical when it close to real.

Ha ha ha! That is hands down the best answer so far!
You may think you're clever but you're not the first person to come up with one of these ridiculous scenarios.

How old are you???? At Woodstock someone would have grab them and try to smoke them. Or eat them, there wasn't much food around. A LOT OF DRUGS,but very little food or water.

There are such better ways to show the illogical position of non-belief than to rewrite a story from the book of Exodus.

Why would a narcotics officer release rattlesnakes??
No, I wouldn't be looking at the guitar. I'd be sucking that poisen out like mad.
