    There might be some believers who are able to find peace and happiness in giving it all over to God and thus not worrying about anything. But the world's population of Buddhists who do not believe in God should more than balance that out.

    I was all for "Yes" ...maybe 10 years ago, but things in my life have moved my opinion closer to "No." I'd like to think that only the righteous have a set of morals, but have seen/heard/read of 'the righteous' abusing it for ill and have as well, seen atheists do good things. I think more people have been killed 'doing God's work' then doing stuff that betters their family, friends, and other human beings' lives.

    as long as you are kind and accepting of others, i'm sure if there is a god out there he'd forgive you for not believing, in light of the lack of evidence.

    Why the **** do people keep baiting those with a religion into sharing their personal views. What value does a question like this add? If more people said 'yes' were you going to go join a church tomorrow? I highly doubt it. Move on people, find something else to drive you immature desire for sarcasm.

    There are many things that can affect the quality of your life. I think the belief in God would rank fairly low on the things that will affect your life. I think genetics and the family you are born into are probably two of the biggest factors that will affect the quality of your life.

    Not only will your life be better it will improve life for those around you. Start taking some responsibility without relying on magical beings.

    The most important thing in life is to treat other people the way you'd like them to treat you. That way we'd all respect and care for each other. Now wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?

    Define "worse"
    God never promised a care free life, as I recall his exact words were, "in the world you will have tribulation"
    For me personally, a life without God would be horrible.

    Surely the issue is, whether or not you can follow your path through life, in spite of the jeering and sneering of others on the sidelines.
    I do not have an issue in accepting that there could be a god or maybe even gods.
    What I do find wholeheartedly infuriating, is organised religion pretending that any self appointed representatives of a species, as universally insignificant as we humans, could possibly have the feintest insight into any vague notion of what that god thinks or wants. That is the con!

    Well I do not judge anybody. I feel like this, I'd rather believe while I'm alive, than to not believe and when I die, realize that Yah is real.

    I can only speak for myself and say my life has been hell. There were times I spent in hell with god and other times without god. I think some of those times with god helped.

    What a person believes is not very important to their happiness. To get a better life, someone must have faith, hope and love. My belief in God gives me faith that things are working together for good, i.e., the world is becoming a better place; this faith gives me hope that the future will be better and the confidence that moral behavior will be rewarded; and this faith and hope permits me to love others even when their actions are not consistent with what I believe is "right". When I did not have faith, hope, and love, I was worse off. So I am reasonably confident that faith, hope, and love make everyone's life better. Perhaps a person can find faith, hope, and love without God but I didn't.

    For some people God and religion are their lives. For others they are independent. I don't think your life can be better or worse depending on what magical friend you believe in.

    How do you know this to be true? Without knowing God you can not determine the happiness felt by knowing him isn't different or greater than that felt while denying him!
    Your answer itself shows us how happy you really are! I can say with confidence that when I'm happy, I don't troll around provoking and insulting others in an attempt to gain more happiness! Why do you?

    All one can know about Gods is what other people tell them,,,and they got it from what somone else told them,,, People are so damn gullible they will believe anything if told it enough,, That is how brainwashing works...I dont need to gain more happiness... You people are the ones that are sad with your incomplete lives that you have to have a made up Big Daddy to cope with the realities of the world.....Just why do you need some non existant god to get through the day?????

    I'm not the one trying to convince any one else that I am happy. You are! You are offering one ad hominem argument after another. In other words you are insulting and offensive to others in an attempt to prove how much happier you are than they are! The only person you're really trying to convince is yourself, because you're not fooling anyone else!

    I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Answer this one question.

    What is your logical explanation for how the universe exists?

    Worse than what? Many of the black slaves in America believed in "god" and their lives were horrendous. (At the hands of white people who also believed in "god.")

    So...ACCORDING TO WORD VOMIT, black slaves lived a horrendous life because they believed in God and white slave masters lived a great life because they also believed in God!
    I believe the only thing you've proven here is that circular, contradictory, mindless, racist, personal hate agendas have made you stupid!
