Why NOT believe in God ?
Why not? How about the following. Because: out of every single one of the reasons you so confidently gave above not one of them was evidence whatsoever that belief in God is actually true.

That's the whole point... greater appreciation of life as it can be.
And the same applies to what fr0d0 said here. Not one reason to believe that the belief is actually true. Just a load of false hope. What a load of fucking bullshit.
