I am asking this question not to mock or ridicule anyone's faith. But to understand your mind's in efforts to feel a oneness w/ my fellow humans who happen to be Christian w/o submitting to your judgemental faith or God...Do any Christians have a Plan B if the Church would burn down tomorrow (symbollically)? If they found out Jesus was just like them only he understood the purpose of this physical world....like many others who have also ascended....i.e. Earth Masters....?
This is a hypothetically created Question offered with purely good intent....I only expect serious answers. please spare the humor. Many of my friends are Christian and although they judge me I choose not to. But because they and their God judge me I find myself wanting to not be friends anymore b/c of that only reason.
So, Let's just say things fell apart (No apocoplypse, No Judgement day, No challenge of faith, just a sense of a need to Change) what would the Christians Do? Keep Believing? Try something new?

I don't understand christianity as a "judgemental faith". The Bible teaches us two things over and over. God loves us immeasurably. We in turn should love one another. Judgement is human, not christian. Every human is judgemental.

first of all i know why you are asking this, i have thougth of this too as well, and the reason why i have is that almost all christians i have met are fake and hypocritical and all they have is a selfish religion, so you saying that christians judging you does not suprise me at all! so what you say kinda makes sense, is chrstianity manmade? who really is God? to answer you question simply i would still search for God every day, i going to be dead someday! that a fact! so i have to fight the fight the search for the true God. but i do believe in christianity even thought christians are fake i will give you a few examples....the first one is a story of the exodus from Egypt by Moses he lead 600,000 men out of egypt to the promise land - only 4 survived the rest died because they disobeyed god too many times, that is a very small percentage, so only a few make it, also the story of noah and the flood too, only noah survived out of possible millions of people at that time....another proff of christianity being true is the fulfilled prophecies in the 20th century a total of 15 of them! go to the link below that i ran into, you dont guess 15 major things in the 20th century 2000 years ago and get them all right that is impossible, but again i know where you coming from so good question.....

You write creatively and well. Blaise Pascal faced this question during the period of history known as the Enlightenment. His answer, Pascal's Wager, is found in The Pensees.
His answer is two part, you ask only the one. If, he decided, he believed and there was no God, then he reasoned he would have lost nothing and would have maintained an excellent morality and mind set.

Does the fact they cannot even engage in a hypothetical tell you something of how frightening the world would be to them if they didn't have their faith?
Some people are not prepared to even consider the possibility god doesn't agree with their beliefs.

First, answer this question: What would you do tomorrow if it turned out that fruit and vegetables, meat and cereals, were all deadly poison, and you were really supposed to eat rocks for your health? Because for me, this question is about equivalent to yours - I recognize you are probably asking it sincerely, and I'm not intending to make fun of you. But in order to explain how a Christian feels about your hypothetical situation - it just wouldn't make sense to me.

i know it won't happen but for the sake of your question i think maybe some would try one of the other religions or simply spirituality. most i think would still adhere to the moral guide lines within the bible as they are practical for happy healthy living. i answered this hypothetically,i am catholic so i know what you proposed wouldn't happen,however i hope my answer helps you at least a little bit. enjoy your day.

Well that is an interesting but good question...I would still believe even if it was proven incorrect because how can anyone prove that it is incorrect and i understand that it is hypothetical but ya knkow its kind of a contradicting question if you ask me

That's not a concern as I know it's all correct and you are the ones who's knees will drip with water in the great day of God the Almighty.

I watched someone go through that when I woke them up. They screamed "You're shattering my world!', but the truth was undeniable. Now they hear every word that comes out of the mouth of god.

isn't it bemusing how atheists have faith Christians have faith each and every thing they examine in the bible in spite of if this isn't any longer authentic? is that this the lax way that atheists arrive in any respect their bigoted notions approximately different communities or is it basically the Christians approximately whom they completely have faith any rubbish with none helping info?
