I have a theological question and I would like a serious answer please. [View all]

Consider the theater-piece "Die Physiker" ("the physicists" ) by Friedrich Dürrenmatt.
In it, the protagonist Dr. Moebius pretends to be insane and had himself committed to an insane-asylum. He has made an outrageous scientific discovery. If it were ever to fall into anybody else's hands, this discovery would enable new technologies and weapons more horrifying and destructive than anyone can imagine. He knows that if his discovery were to fall into ANYONE'S hands, it would be the end of mankind. So he leaves his wife and children behind, pretends to be insane and strangles a pure, innocent, loving nurse to death, in order to be shunned and forgotten as a dangerous mad-man.




Then I thought to myself: "Couldn't the same thing happen for religion?"

Imagine discovering incontrovertible, undeniable proof that the claims of religion are true. Imagine that what you discovered is absolutely horrifying.
(For example that heaven is fake and that an eternity of torture in hell awaits all of us. No matter your faith, your good deeds, or whether you are a baby who has neither. All of us, upon death, will be be tortured in hell for all of eternity.)

Imagine discovering an undeniable religious truth so horrifying that it will cause suffering and pain beyond anyone's wildest nightmares.

Would you still publish this ultimate, undeniable religious truth about the true nature of the universe?
The only correct one true faith that anyone will automatically believe in once they have seen your proof?
The highest and most final divine truth there is?

Even though the truth is absolutely horrifying?



Or would you deny the one and only true faith and keep it a secret?
