If you encountered an advanced species. They showed you how to use your mind, and had wonderful technology far beyond our own. They also give you a big book with the truth in it. This book describes the history of earth from its creation and an accurate description about what God is. This God turns out to be nothing like any of the religious descriptions on planet earth. Mans history wasn't even close to what really happened. What would you do?

I would say to them "Thank you for the truth. I now know why the organized religions all seemed like such a sham. I now understand why all the man-made rules imposed on the church goers seemed like arbitrary restrictions rather than spiritual guidelines."
I would say "I knew what I was taught wasn't the truth. I just didn't know where to find the truth. Thank you for bringing it to us. Tell me how I can spread the word."

I'd either wake up or obey this advanced species also known as God. Although as you can see from society some would deny him some would refuse him some would laugh at him and some would kill him. The few who believe and follow him are blessed.

I would probally share it ( the info) with my close friend sand family but not the public for the simple fact that most would not believe what you have discovered. and probally play you off as insane or something to the effect. I would probally relish in the fact that I knew things that the general population did not know if i could have proof-- i would present to the public

Wow, that's deep. I would study the information more and make some comparisons. I like to believe I would know the truth if I read it, saw it, etc. (spiritually speaking, of course). This really is a brilliant question. Something to really ponder. What makes you think of it?

I would say thanks, take the big book, and then when I got home, throw it away just like I do with all other religious literature not related to the God of the Bible.

I'd be thankful for the training, but skeptical of any "one, single truth."
even the most well-meaning missionary may not realize the imperialistic, cultural harm of indoctrination.

Same thing I do now. I believe God's Word. It is the only truth.

I would wonder how this advanced species managed to get it wrong.
Read St. Thomas Aquinas' "Summa Theologica"

I would change my views on history. That's for sure.
Ah, I have read that history is written by the winners anyway.

I'd figure my blood sugar had dropped to an alarmingly low level and I'd go get a bite to eat. Maybe hummus and tabbouli in a pita. I've been hooked on that lately.
Great. Thanks, now I'm hungry...
