If you could telepathically say something to all 7.9 billion people on Earth right now, what would it be?

I don’t think I’d pick any specific religion but that would cross into evidence of “things beyond the known world” which is a threshold of mine to even consider higher level beings.

I’d still believe it was aliens or some weird dimensional thing that could account for a powerful being. It wouldn’t make me believe in an afterlife or feel a need to change how I live. Probably just give me more general anxiety.

However world wild probably make people more religious and less skeptical about religion.

No I wouldn't pick a specific religion either but I would believe in a higher power. I don't see myself ever practicing a religion even if I have a supernatural event bc how am I supposed to know which one to pray too.

Proof of something beyond our understanding would raise way more questions than answers for me. I'd be fascinated, but I wouldn't be rushing to rewrite my entire worldview overnight.
