I don't think this is a good thought experiment. For a thought experiment to be fruitful in any way, it should be based on an accessible premise that was not thought as a part of the subject before that is somehow linked to a common place idea. At least it requires a reasonable scenario that would attract people to imagine something they didn't before about something very familiar to them.

But if you say, 'let's suppose the Christian god was proven to exist, would you believe in it?' You are offering something from a believer's point of view -it is the same as accepting that twisted premise- and ask the same question believers ask us in many different forms of expression. In short, it's the same question that has been chewed for thousands of years. It's a different version of 'What would change in your life, if you acceped Jesus Christ as your god and saviour?'

Nothing. Because I wouldn't accept any entity as my god and saviour. See, there is actually no difference between < that and trying to imagine a fantasy with an 'empirically' proven god just for the sake of the fantasy. The condition is not accessible. What's more, it's also exhausted. That's the whole bullshit.

Otherwise, it is Supernatural or Constantine. (Sam Winchester is mine.)

"his philosophy was a mixture of three famous schools -the cynics, the stoics and the epicureans-and summed up all three of them in his famous phrase, 'you can't trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there's nothing you can do about it, so let's have a drink.'" terry pratchett

This is the reason you need to stick around, Penny. Great minds are hard to come by.  :flowers:
