What if you found out that nothing you believed in was according to the Truth, where would that leave you?

I am unattached to my beliefs, and I know that what is "truth" for me is not "truth" for others as "truth" is relative.

One has many believes than there are stars in the sky. For a long time, I believed that I was stupid and didn't do throughout my school years. My abusive father would always tell me that as well as other lies.
When in my early 40's I went to a community college, and later transferred to USC and graduated. This was a wonderful accomplishment in that I had a husband and four daughters to care for. I was the first in the family to have a college degree. This leaves me to believe that I don't want to be left toothless or truth less.

I did, and it was a very difficult process to get through. But now that I am an Atheist, I am open to new discoveries.
All I need is measurable, tested data, and I am more than willing to give up my Atheist beliefs.
When I was a Christian, however, it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I believe that the reason for this is in the way religion is attached to a believers sense of self worth and purpose in life.
It is terrible

If I was given sufficient evidence, I would accept that I was wrong. I don't suspect that will happen, but I'm not going to dogmatically deny something that has been proven to be true. Where that would leave me would depend upon the truth I am shown. If the truth is that humans live in the matrix, that would leave me in a completely different place than if Apollo magically happened to exist.

My beliefs are based on history, my own personal observations and are confirmed by science.
My beliefs are the result of a sincere quest for the truth which will evolve as I grow in knowledge and understanding
Pantheist.

I'm pretty much attached. If I found out that my beliefs were all a hoax, I would find solace in knowing that I didn't spend my entire life creating misery for others.

We only discover the truth by realizing what is false---we know the Bible is false when it claims the Earth in flat & standing on Pillars as the Book of Samuel asserts---so uncovering the false should be our sole aim.

"the Truth"? According to who? If there was a "Truth" I would most definitely change my beliefs to it.

Probably depressed and full of questions. I read things every now and again that make me really wonder, but something always leads me back into believing just like I did before I read it.

As a believer my believes are based upon the divine commandments. I don't concoct my believes. Therefore I do not fear about my believes turning false.
