I wonder how they would react?

If a deity exists but is nothing like the one described in the
Bible or Koran, I wonder how those whose lives have been ruled
by a very extreme version of their particular brand of faith
would react?

I think it is highly likely that God is different to how we
imagine. The portrayals vary according to belief system and
can't all be right. God is for everyone and encompasses all. If
we meet God after life we will be fine. There's no point in
speculating.

Death could be the end and there is no afterlife.

In which case we will know nothing and it will be the end of us,
which won't bother us because we won't know! I'm not afraid of
death but I do hope not to be in much pain, disabled or lose
independence. I think most people worry about that but not all
the time, it just pops into our minds occasionally.

I am an agnostic so I have no idea if death is the end of our
existence or there is an afterlife. Like you Lyn from time to
time I do hope I am not in pain and well taken care of.

The problem with the question is that such definitive evidence
of the true nature of the deity is clearly not available in this
life, so there can be no reaction to what isn't there. At best,
it would only be available if there is life (or consciousness)
after death. The question, then, is purely hypothetical.

I agree my question is purely hypothetical.

it in the light of your previous post,which came immediately
after.)

If you search history about Jesus Christ you will find that the
Christian religion is the true one. You do this by reading the
Bible (O.T and N.T). You need Faith to accept this. Faith here
meaning the supernatural gift of God enabling us to believe in
whatever He has revealed. Early Christians were uneducated and
shunned away from intellectual debates with the Greeks on
philosophy. These Christians died for their Faith, under Nero
and others.They truly believed.
