Here it is, what if you discovered a cure for ever desease known to man but in the process discovered that everything you once believed in was completely false, and you have complete undeniable proof. Would you share both with the world, especially if the only way to give this cure was to unleash the truth or in order to give the cure you much give the truth, would you do it or would you let thousands die for the sake of hope and faith?

Okay, maybe i didn't make myself clear. This is a hypothetical question, not what you undeniably and blindly believe at the moment, that is why it is called a what if question.

HI,
Everyone has their own preconceived idea about truth,
so I would prefer to help people with their diseases and
let people continue with their lives as usual.
Without putting any hypothetical connotations, right now
in this life time there are many people who honestly feel
with absolute certainty that they have, or found the truth.
But that in it's self is not doing much for the global mass
problem that we are facing with diseases. Even if I, or
anyone else was confronted with undeniable or absolute
truth, The world will not listen, and right now we are living
in a prime example of that reality.

Well, are you taking an ethics class? haha
I would cure all the cancers. In the long run it will help the largest amount of people. Since based on this question there is proof, I don't see anything wrong with revealing the truth. People will take from it what they want. A lot people wouldn't believe it anyways. Even if there was "proof." That is just the way man works.
Look how long it took us to accept that the sun did not revolve around the Earth. No matter the evidence there will always be skepticism and disbelief.

Absolutely.
I am an atheist so I guess this would mean having undeniable proof that there is a god.
I would have no problem admitting I was wrong on that count if there really were undeniable proof even without the cure for diseases.

What kind of proof would be undeniable? People claim to have proof now that Christianity is false. It is not actual proof at all, but just more arguments. The same is said when we say that we have proof that God exists. One person's "proof" proves nothing. So even if someone came out and told the whole world that "proof" on breaking news, do you think that the truly religious would listen?

Most definitely, I'd give the cures. There's not a lot I believe in anymore; I've become jaded with age, However! if I did discover cures for diseases, I would once again have faith. (Don't worry about spell check; I read your question okay.)

Your question is ambiguous, confusing and contradictory.. For example... if I believed that tomorrow would come (as it usually does) but found out it was completely false (and have complete undeniable proof) then "tomorrow" would never arrive and my "cure" would never be implemented.
Now, if you are putting a "religious spin" on your faith in God the Almighty, you still have time to be converted... Think about it!

I would fess up my false beliefs, and go for the cure. That's an easy choice. You didn't even say I'd have to be crucified
or have rotten tomatoes thrown at me....just admit my beliefs were wrong? Eat a big slice of crow pie for the sake of all
humanity and a cure for all diseases?
Bring on the crow pie...or Mouse Potato Pie!

I would have question this undeniable proof. Is there any such thing in the scientific world ? Not that Ive seen. I'd have to believe that this cure was from God.

I always want the truth regardless of the consequences to my belief system. If a cure was part of the deal, that would be even better.

I know the cure for every disease known to man: God!
Step 1: Pray earnestly and believe without a doubt in your heart (walking in divine healing)
Step 2: Stand on the Word of God (call those things that are not as though they were)
Step 3: Be patient because your miracle is on the way!
