It depends. For me, the idea of a psychopath with superpowers who is against the idea of letting people enjoy their life is quite a scary one.
Well I agree... so why do Dawkins & co. persist in disturbing those who enjoy a spiritual life?

I don't think that I could emotionally connect with most gods even if I believe that they existed. It's probably because I don't feel special, nor I want to be. I'm more interested in harmony and peace of mind than in discipline, ambition or euphoria.
Right, that's cool and all, I respect that... but imagine if you have already been to Disneyland; simply riding the swings all day every day after that becomes the most horrible of experiences once you realise you can't go back to Disneyland again.
