What if God's existence were proven without doubt? Good or bad?

106. Your Christian deity, not mine. (Just a friendly modification of your modifier there.)

But while I certainly agree with your point, my comment was intended to refute the OP's suggestion that worship rests on the mysteriousness of the supernatural power being worshipped. Actually, even as a quasi-material deity, the Judaeo-Christian God* does maintain a notable degree of mystery, since He and His nature are supposedly ineffable, far beyond the capacity of merely mortal minds to even begin to comprehend. Christianity is a mystery religion, after all, but even those who have been initiated into the mystery believe that there is a core of incomprehensibility in the essence of their God.

Of course, some modern believers, those who consider God a close personal friend and confidant, have actually transformed Him into a different kind of god, one without much mystery left at all (if any!).
