This makes no sense to me.  Are you saying that if God didn't exist, 
you wouldn't want to know?  You'd rather continue believing in 
something that wasn't true?  If it were possible to prove God's 
non-existence, it would be possible to prove his existence, and may 
the best theory win.

I think he goes a bit far, here, but I've known an awful lot of 
people for whom religion clearly was an expression of mental disorder 
or dysfunction.  My whole family, just for starters.
