How many death penality crimes are you currently involved in? How many death penality crimes do people commit, and then showcase as a form of open rebellion? Out of those who do (binladen and the like) do so in the worship of their understanding of god. (that is why they are deemed religious extreamists) Now turn this philosphy and place the knoweledge of God/god's will in place of all state law and soceital morality. Now who is left to openly rebel against God? It would be that reality's version religious terrorist nut bag.
Because clearly most people and subsequently their goverments would adopt the practices of a verfiably known God. (like what happened durning the dark ages, and OT Judism) Which also means a paradygme shift in popular morality to more closly match that of the known God. (Again like in the dark ages and OT Judism) Who ever is left to rebel would be viewed as one outside the main line soceity, which clearly would make them a very small exception to the rule.
As i see if if you are a 'good boy' now and follow soceital morality, then you will be a good boy in that reality as well.
Actually no, because my morality isn't based solely on societal laws, no matter whom it happens to be based on. Sure, I follow the laws, but I also disagree with some of them, and I can indeed see a point where, if society took up god's morality (say, to the point of feeding those who dare mock his prophets to bears) that I would take a stand and disobey the immoral ones.
But that's beside the point anyway. The existence of your god does not require worship or rebellion be the only options anyway. I simply refuse to live on bended knee toward a tyrant: your god might prove himself extant tomorrow, and it wouldn't change my actions at all, because I'm focused on being a good person for my own reasons, not his, and not society's. Undeniable proof of god would merely give one food for thought, not alter free will: even the faithful can't agree on what counts as god's will, after all.
