A question to all Atheists..?

If all of you found out for a fact that God did exist..., say like Jesus Christ appeared in front of you when you were fully awake and sober and told you, you were going to Hell unless you changed the way you live your life, would you change it?
Would you give up drugs..? Would you live by the bible..?
Speaking that Jesus showed you a vision of Hell and it was the worst most horrible place you could ever imagine to be..

I would need at least that and it would have to be recorded with witnesses. I would think if I saw something like that I would have a hard time believing it. After reviewing it with a group of 12 or more random college level professors with all logical and rational explanations exhausted I would believe it and think "neato" and that would be about it.

I'd feel like a failure but at the same time seeing it with my own eyes and being physically there is enough proof to make me a believer. But I don't see that happening ever .

My first guess would be that I was delirious due to illness or mental breakdown. If I could somehow know that I was sane at the time (not likely), and really didn't hallucinate the appearance (extremely unlikely), it would be an Earth-shattering revelation for me, one which would require a significant amount of contemplation to resolve.
I would probably conclude that I had finally gone mad and shoot myself before it got any worse.

I'm not an atheist but I would hope given the opportunity to meet Jesus that I at least asked him some questions

Well of course...I would certainly want to ask him some questions though. You'd be stupid not to suck it up for 70-120 years in order to avoid ETERNAL SUFFERING.
But as others have noted it's a silly question because it has not happened and probably will never happen since God is overwhelmingly likely to be a creation of humanity.

..If one could know if souls actually burn,then maybe....but seeing as how most of what we think of hell was written after the bible,most likely not.
as for living by the book,also no...I am sure you could show number one son his dad's "word" and he wouldn't recognize the altered pages infront of him...
so assuming he would then lay down the actual rules and reasons,sure..whatever,no more drugs.

First, such a vision would not convince me. I am not arrogant enough to think that my perceptions are infallible even when awake and sober.
But for the sake of argument, if I did believe I would probably not give up drugs and would live by the bible.

where does it say in the bible you can't do drugs? Drugs are mostly from plants or made from man using something found in plants so I thought they are fine according to it right? Of course slavery and beating your wife to death with rocks for talking the wrong way is also OK in that silly book.

If it was truly a vision from GOD, maybe we should assume that it is completely convincing beyond doubt.
and it that case, you fucking bet I'd convert.

I wouldn't give up drugs unless Jesus actually appeared in front of me and told me not to do them anymore.. i think Jesus drank wine, and I've read somewhere that at the last supper he ate magic mushrooms with his disciples so im guessing its ok.... right?
