Notice I'm NOT saying there is no God...
My question is IF we had a way of knowing there was no God, what would you feel in your heart? Would you want to find out?

Thanks for answering folks...
Fair enough on the questions back:
I'm an agnostic;
YES, I would love to know if there is a God or not.

moonlightkisu: your reasoning would hold true of unicorns as well.

Fair question, friend. I probably would NOT want to know. If I knew for certain that there was no God, then life would be utterly meaningless--especially in the area of morality. I would become crazy selfish, which would cause me to attack everyone else (verbally) just so I could survive emotionally until I died. So, in the final analysis, no, I would not want to know.

No, I don't think I would want to know. Personally, I find it comforting believing that there is a wonderful, powerful, higher being watching out for me. That no matter what I do He is there with unconditional love and acceptance; and that when my time on Earth is over I will spend eternity in the presence of that same love. If "they" could somehow prove there was no God, I believe a blanket of hopelessness would cover the world. With nothing to look forward to, or no rules to go by.... what would keep the world from plummeting into chaos? So peoples beliefs in whatever religion they choose goes far beyond whatever "treasures" they are promised for leading a good life. I truly believe that society as a whole needs religion more than the dietys of the aforementioned religions need people.

I'd probably still believe in the will of the universe. I mean, if there were no bees, there would be no pollination, no food, and no life. What I'm trying to say is that everything has an effect on everything else. How one person treats another is still important, and therefore love trumps hate everytime. And God is love (Go through the bible and replace the word God with Love, and you'll see what I mean). So I'd feel the same way, although I've already got the proof I need, by definition.

IF there was no God, then we would already know that, because we would be in utter darkness.
Oh wait, let me re-phrase that:
We would not exist, for He created us and every breath of life we take is only by the grace and mercy of God.
God's holy angels are holding back the 4 winds of strife, but it won't be forever. The Holy Spirit is being drawn back from the world as I speak and end of Probation will come when Christ says: Let the wicked be wicked still and the righteous be rightous still. There isn't time to waste asking questions that don't uplift eachother. Choose ye this day whom ye will serve. If God is God, then serve him, if Baal, then serve him.

Yes, If there was no God which I truely believe there is. If there wasn't I think I would be confused,probably have a very empty heart. Without God for me there is nothing to look forward to after I die.Also yes I would want to find out. So I could know for sure!

To be honest, If there was or there wasn't I would like to know. I think knowledge is the most precious thing we have. I do beleive that God exist. If there wasn't a God, if our planet, and life itself was created by pure accident....then what reason do we have to live? if we are just the memories and electrical pulses in our brain...then why be good....why not just live as we wish and sleep around, drink, have fun whatever....if there is no God, there is no afterlife no consequences, just the ones that you might encounter here.....

I would feel a bit surprised. I base my religion, well, I base my belief that there is a definite higher power on logic mainly and to see this logic is completely flawed I would be quite shocked! It would make me excited though because then there'd be so much more to learn and discover, seemingly. I would have a renewed interest in the world around me. It would be interesting to see which people are still good, though no fear of Hell is there to keep them in check. It'd be quite a test on the moralit of mankind I'm sure. I think it'd be a fun world!

Once all the village people decided to pray for rain.
On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an
umbrella (small boy is a believer) that's like what it is with Jesus - belief, trust and hope in Jesus brings no doubt..... so dear you should be asking this question to the unbelivers and not BELIEVERS.
