Even if it meant that you're entire belief system was going to be shattered.
I don't have the truth, but let's say I had not only the truth, but unrefutable evidence to back it up. Not to mention 30 scholars and scientests, 30 priests, rabbis, and other various religous leaders all agreeing with me.
Then would you turn away from your God, or lack of God?
Does that make sense, like say you thought the Earth was flat, and I took you in a rocket ship so that there was no way that you would think I was lying when I told you it was round. That's how obvious the truth would be, could you then just drop everything you know, or is there no amount of proof that could have you give up what you believe in?

I believe in things like personal freedoms, the rule of law, the goodwill of man, etc. I'm not sure how you could prove things like that wrong. But, if you thought you could, I would be willing to hear you out.

I would not want to know. It'd take away, for the most part, the joy of discovery in life.
Religion, for another matter, is not necessarily a truth or non-truth. It is a belief, an opinion, or a preference, much like whether or not a person likes butter or jam on their bread. People prefer to believe something, and I think that with a belief, no amount of physical evidence could change it, because a belief is not fact - It's opinion.
Plus, it makes them feel better to think that something greater is working with them. Make sense?

I'd absolutely want to know. I'm always open to new knowledge. Better to light a candle than to curse the damned darkness, eh?
And Jersey- I have your answer; You cant sneeze and blink because it's nearly impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. It's a natural bodily reaction to protect the eyes from the pressure of sneezing.

I think it would be VERY difficult for me to give up my beliefs. I love God. I can't say for sure if I would or not. It is one of those things where I would have to live that situation. I guess I will know when someone knows all of the answers.

Makes no sense. You just assume that your 100% truth would disprove God. But if you really had the 100%, it would be just the opposite. In fact, if you had any truth, you would know that you as a human cannot possess 100% truth.

Of course I would. I would hope that everyone had a sincere interest in acquiring the truth. But your question implies that one's "belief system" cannot be based on first-hand knowledge of the truth; which is incorrect. I don't believe in Christ because someone taught me to, though I'm glad that people did. I "believe" in Christ because I know Him personally.

I would tell you like Apostle Paul said in God's Word, "Let God be true and every man a liar." If it goes against the Word of God it is NOT TRUTH.

If you had the 100% truth of everything, yes I would want to know what your thoughts were.
