Say that some evidence surfaced that strongly suggested that Jesus never existed. Evidence that was so strong that even many Apologetics accept it. The Historical Jesus didn't exist, and most historians accepted that as a fact.
What would you do?
Would you convert to Judaism?
Would you ignore the evidence? (I'll assume this is your answer if you say "That would never happen")
Would you stop believing in god altogether?
I'm curious as to what people would think they would do. Other Atheists can say what they think people would do. Personally I think a few would convert to Judaism, and many would ignore the evidence. I'm curious about what their logic would be behind their choice if such strong evidence surfaced? I mean many people deny that the world is billions of years old despite all evidence suggesting otherwise.
Well let's be real here. Your not gonna shake a non-evidence based belief with evidence.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
