Oh, Wooters did a drive by "You're all nihilists!" thing again? How quaint. And idiotic. But quaint.
I'm essentially the same person now as I was when I considered myself Catholic. I never truly believed in a god. Even as a kid I had my questions and doubts, and simply went along with it because my elders and everyone else around me believed in it/talked about it from time to time. My epiphany was more along the lines of "Oh... yeah, I guess I was always an atheist. Neat. What's for supper?" than any kind of world shattering event.
So, I cannot say what I'd be like if I truly believed because I have never truly believed. I have no real way of knowing if I'd change, or how those changes would manifest if they did occur because I have no experience actually being a believer. Might as well ask how different I'd be if I was born in, say, Germany.
