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.

Consider.  I believe that God does indeed exist as the wellspring of 
love, the source of all goodness, the marvelous mind that created the 
universe in all its age and infinite complexity.  I believe that God has 
sustained me through the trials in my life, that he is the home of the 
faithful and the comfort of those who mourn.  He is every good thing 
that I have ever dreamed of and all those I have not yet thought to dream.

A lot of y'all don't think so.  But, imagine how my worldview would be 
pulverized if, again, impossibly, God were to be proven not to exist.

Imagine, also, since I *do* believe God exists, how I must feel about 
the thought that someone wants to surgically remove my belief.  If that 
happened, in my view, God would *still* exist, and I would be crippled 
in my response to him.
