<FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> If I were to find out, beyond a reasonable
doubt, that there was no God, I'd probably have a pretty good chuckle and move
on. Let it go and take it as it comes. I might even get a bit philisophical
about it and ponder what that belief did for me along the road to that
discovery. All in all... I'd forgive myself and move on. I guess that's what my
belief did for me.
Good for you. It would be easier for me because I skipped that annoying interim
"belief" step. :-)

Subject: [FairfieldLife] A question for those who believe in God
If you were find out for sure that there is NO God, would you feel a sense
of loss, as if your life had been diminished in some way or wasted believing in
one?
We non-theists wouldn't. It would have no impact on our lives whatsoever.
If your answer to the question is "Yes," it seems to me that your faith in God
is based on habit, neediness and fear, not on any kind of positive belief.
