You will still feel like a naive twit the very least when you realize what you spent you're life in opposition to was right all along, especially when there was some kind of spiritual development or closeness to God you never developed. So even if you don't spend an eternity in hell or whatever it's still a risk only an atheist has. For a believer the only risk is being wrong about some minor detail or other. There are literally billions of people in the world who mistaken as a fact about something of course.
Quote:only one here who seems to think being proven wrong is a bad thing, is you.
If you're an atheist it's bad to be wrong and it's bad to be right, though you can only ever be proved to be wrong so wrong is all you can be. If you're 100% guaranteed to be wrong in practice you may as well not believe in it.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
