I don't know if I would be miserable without faith in God, but right now, remembering God brings me peace.
Lemme ask you this much: What would happen if there were incontrovertible evidence that proved god were not real? Would you be able to find your own strength to make peace with the world, or would you succumb to despair? Or, more poignantly; do you think you, alone, could find it in yourself to find peace in your own views, without an outside source or outside input?
Finding strength to live in the world is something else, being at peace with the world is something else.
Being at peace with the idea that everyone whom has died in the past and will die in the future, are all going to disappear is different then have strength to face the fact.
Being at peace that people suffer in vain is different then having strength to face that people suffer in vain.
I can see myself having strength possibly, I don't know, but I don't see myself coming at peace with it, but I don't know that as well.
