Lets say this:
You somehow, someday, come across the answer to the question "is there a god?".
The information is bestowed only to yourself, and no one but you knows it. However, you are given the ability, if you so choose, to reveal the information to others, and given some type of evidence that would be impossible to not acknoweledge, so that if you made the choice to tell someone, they would have no choice but to believe you.
The question is simply this: Do you share the information with the world, or keep it to yourself?
EDIT: the "proof" that you have in this scenario will 100% change how one side or the other views things... and the "god" in this instance is a universal higher power. Whatever you may/may not believe in. With this choice you prove once and for all the existence/non-existence of a higher power, and forever change the world.
*****************
My answer is this. In a world so driven by the belief in a higher power, and on the flipside, so driven by the fact that there isn't, I would not feel comfortable sharing this information with the world.
For one thing, it would be a mind-f*** of epic porportions for whoever turned out to be wrong. For another reason, it would destroy the world. No really, think about it. If there IS a god, and it is confirmed, you'll suddenly have entire continents mass worshipping a god, and then blaming the god for anything that happened. Or something similar. If their is NO god, then suddenly you have a world of people who were being careful because they might go to hell saying f*** it, and the chaos begins.
So I would keep the information to myself, and just be happy that out of all the people in the world, I've got a proper game plan.
