Mystic, I don't know how much simpler I can make this and still retain bladder control. Picture: "God" comes down and proves beyond all doubt that "he" is exactly what it says on the tin. Scientists test "him" exhaustively and announce publicly that yes, "God" is absolutely real. Now everyone knows with total certainty, there is no longer any room for belief. Now the only question on the table is "will you worship this god or not?" Undoubtedly there are going to be many people, myself included, who will refuse to bend the knee to the creature for any number of reasons; but continuing to profess disbelief in the damn thing's existence at that point wouldn't be an issue. Or shouldn't be, at least. Atheism isn't a doctrine of contrariness; it's a position waiting to be falsified.
How clear am I being for you?
