If you found out today that God doesn't, and never did, exist, how would that affect you?

    I've believed this most of my life. It would be pretty crazy to actually find this information out though. Where would this knowledge come from? The non-existence of god is virtually impossible to prove, so something amazing must have happened to prove it to me. I'd probably be amazed that such a thing was demonstrated.

    I know God doesn't exist, I was raised a Christian and never questioned it. Eventually I realized that God was fake and my life has been exactly the same.

    I've know for a long time. It's very freeing to shake the burden of thinking some imaginary father figure is watching your every move because he apparently has nothing better to do.

    It wouldn't affect me at all...

    I'd be far more concerned about the 'Christians' that claim atheists have no morals because we don't 'believe' in their god, and what they may do when they find out they don't either... LOL

    IMHO

    Too late! I know Him and live in daily relationship with Him. Therefore "finding out" that He doesn't exist would be equivalent to "finding out" my wife doesn't exist.

    If God does not exist, then we have no hope and I might as well live however I would like and engage in anything that gives me pleasure. Just have the eat and be merry for tomorrow we die type attitude. However the good news is that God does exist.

    it would disappoint me but I wouldn't feel that having faith all these years were a waste. Faith gives hope. TO find out that this life is the only one I will have would be a bummer because of so much suffering.

    Finding out that no god or gods had ever existed would not affect me in one bit as that is already my opinion on the matter.

    Be really obnoxious to some people and say, "I told you so". Other than that it wouldn't really affect me since I already arrived at that conclusion.

    I'd say, yeah, that's what I figured.

    Then go to work.
