What would you do?

What kind of proof? Oh.
Well, let's see.
How about if -- no, that doesn't work, it's not testable or measurable or anything.
What if we saw -- wait, no, mass delusions happen someimes, so that wouldn't be real proof, either.
.... I'm thinking, I'm thinking....
Got it! What if a quadruple amputee said a prayer to, say, Vishnu (or Quetzalcoatl or insert other deity here) and his/her missing limbs immediately began to grow back and were completely whole and healthy within, let's say, six months? That would be a genuine miracle, wouldn't it? and at least apparently linked to the deity in question.
So, what would you do then?

There is only one way and that is Jesus Christ!
The Bible says:
Galatians 1:6-9
I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him accursed.
So I would answer your question by saying other than Jesus there is no other way to be right with God.
What proof do you have?

OK, I have my proof. The existence of God as well as the Bible being the Word of God can be proved through the vehicle of prophecy. To see the evidence of this, we must first establish the fact that God is a spirit who dwells outside of our physical time domain--that is, in eternity. In the Bible, God describes Himself in Isaiah 57:15,
"For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: 'I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit.'"
If God dwells in the realm of eternity as the Bible states, then He must be able to declare future events as if they had happened in the past. We who live in the physical restraints of time and space have the disadvantage of seeing the world according to a timeline. But God sees the past and the future as one complete picture.
"Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure,'" Isaiah 46:9-10
So through the vehicle of prophecy, God throws down the gauntlet to all the other "holy books" and all the other "gods" that dare to claim the title. The God of the Bible challenged in Isaiah 41:22-23,
"Let them bring forth and show us what will happen; let them show the former things, what they were, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare to us things to come. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods; yes, do good or do evil, that we may be dismayed and see it together."
OK, there is the challenge from the God of the Bible. No other book contains prophecy that has been fulfilled with accuracy. Some would say that others twist scripture interpretation to make prophecy "appear" to be fulfilled. A silly notion, seeing that so many of these prophecies (that were fulfilled to the letter) were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls--written many years before fulfillment. I have written one study based on one chapter in Daniel. In it can be found 16 in-depth prophecies regarding the rise of Alexander the Great and the subsequent rule of his generals afterward. I have paralleled the prophecy with the fulfillment from historic literature.

If it was christianity or judism, wouldn't bother. Anything else I would probably laugh and cry for hours out of pure shock and maybe a little anger that I was wrong. Hey its the truth.

I do not follow any religion.
I would test that proof. I want to be on the side of the truth.

If there was proof? I'd grab it like Paris Hilton on a brainless billionaire playboy!

Sure, I always go where the evidence sends you. Like to give me some idea what that might be?

This is a stupid question. I know that they say that there are no stupid questions, but this is a stupid question. There is no such thing as a "true" religion. To each their own.

what sort of PROOF?
I believe that NO religion is the true one.

I don't follow a religion, I follow Jesus Christ, so it wouldn't involve me.
