I was raised by atheists and never even flirted with a god, so I don't understand it. For those of you who have been on both sides- what's it like to have that moral certainty? What's it like to lose it?
ever knew... maybe my wife too
To be entirely honest, for me it was liberating as I was convinced I was going to hell for something I said once about a Christian missionary documentary. Although sometimes I miss the comfort of prayer, I also find my mind is now sharper and I myself am less complacent.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostles%27...lic_Church, Wikipedia lists many said creeds, which is right?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
