If I politely ask you not to answer my question by turning it around and asking me the same question, will you answer it that way... anyway?

The majority of people will go to their graves thinking they are right. And of course, since death is the end, not the beginning, they will never realize the error of their ways.

Anybody who believes they're right is likely wrong. Anybody who believes they're wrong is certainly right. Polarization of two ideals always breaks down into idiocy.
I accept what I think happened as very probable. I accept what most other people think happened as less probable, but definitely possible.
The only thing I know is true is that I am aware--I am cognizant. That's the only axiom I have to rest any case on.
So, I could think that all of you exist, and be wrong. All senses can be fooled and led. The universe around me, sensible though it may be, could be just a hallucinogenic construct forced upon me by my own loneliness--my absence of peers.
If that's in question, if it is possible that I am wrong on that account, then every other piece of knowledge I have ever acquired is just as likely to be an erroneous conclusion.

I'm sure everyone's experienced that on one level or another - for me, I end up kicking myself for being so stupid.
But, if you're talking about in terms of my beliefs, I don't so much believe that I'm right (because I don't have the full picture nor am I perfect) but that God's right. So, I would say that I'm wrong most of the time inasmuch as I don't know enough to be truly "right" - only God could be perfect enough to be completely "right". After all, what makes us human is that we make mistakes.

I thought you didn't care about "feelings" since only the rational has value to you?
How does it feel to have certainty about something when in reality I am wrong? I wouldn't know - I would have to both believe I am right and know I am wrong at the same time. Can't be done. But I hope scoring cheap, mean insults on people you don't know provides you some sort of fulfillment. If not, might I suggest using your time to help those in need?

It feels like the end of the world when it comes to the things of God. From birth I was brought up to believe a particular set of beliefs about God, Jesus and the Bible. In my mid-teens I enthusiastically launched into the religion for myself because I believed it utterly. My entire life was swallowed up by its pursuits. Then I stumbled across evidence that I had been duped by this denomination's leaders. It led to a two-year intense search, checking out their track-record, which was a can of worms. All my faith and trust in that denomination evaporated and I was left like a fish out of water, for I had no friends or life outside this religion. But, strangely, just as my convictions about being utterly right were evaporating I then saw in the Bible things I'd never seen before (despite being able to quote it back-to-front, inside-out and upside-down). For the first time I began to see the deity of Christ and that changed everything. Now I know that it's not what I think right that matters, but WHO is right. If Christ is right and he is who he claims to be, then my belief rests on him alone. This change of attitude brings glorious freedom and fresh understanding. I recommend you consider Christ as the basis of what is right and what is wrong.

You seem so sure that the only thing worth living for is your materials. Or fame, etc..
But there's more to life than what you see. Some people settle for less (i.e. The Atheist) But face facts, even an Atheist comes to terms about the afterlife at some point in his/her life.
Should that happen to you, Are you sure your right?

Like getting hit over the head, slapped in the face and given a higher IQ all at the same time. The end result was my leaving Christianity.

It feels horrible.
As a child I thought I was much more well endowed then the other children but when high school rolled around my first girl told me I was only of average endowment. I was crushed.

How does it make you feel to think that you are so right and tobe so wrong,
My love for you lasts for long, long, long.
Every night I'l dance and sing this song,
So that the whole world will live in peace and get along.
