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.

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.
