I cant even begin to imagine how much wasted time and effort would have to be involved for me to compel myself into daydreaming about pie and punch in the sky with the big man.

Yeah...why not spend that proposed effort into believing something I don't into...I don't know, taking out the trash and being a righteous dude? That, to my mind, would be the pragmatic solution.
Maybe you can manage to find an alternative meaning of life that doesn't include these beliefs. But what do you think would help us deal with the uncertainties of life better than the belief in a powerful entity that cares about us..?
