Hmm....the red pill or the blue pill.
I for one, choose not to remain blissfully unaware inside the Matrix.

Give me truth and honesty or give me death. My favorite people in the world are honest, even when it hurts. However, they give me the truth in Love. I love it!
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then ye are my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8: 31 & 32
If there were no God, no, I could not believe in Him. That would be dishonesty within myself and those around me. I believe in God for many reasons, I feel He is very honest and He portrays His honesty in Love. He did not sugarcoat this Word that came to us by much sacrifice and I believe the Words therein are honest. The Source of all truth
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17

I'll take truth anyday. But the thing is, God cannot be disproven, so I'll continue to believe in God as the truth.

God also can not be PROVEN, so how can you refer to is as the TRUTH?

one would have to consider it a self-evident truth.

If you go back and look at the original question, I would rather know the truth than be blissfully ignorant.
What that truth is, we disagree on.

The "truth" in the OP is an objective truth, not a subjective one.
There is only ONE truth. God exists or He doesn't.
He can't exist for one person and not for another and be considered a truth by both people.

Going back to the red and blue pill of the matrix, how can you be sure you actually took the pill that released you?

Actually Faith wasn't required, because they had PROOF.

It takes more faith to NOT believe in a God than it DOES.

Rith, that's a typical response against atheism.[b said:
Unfortunately it's not true.
Atheism isn't active DISBELIEF. It's not believing in something because there is a lack of evidence.
There is no faith involved.

To not believe in nothing? I think that requires faith. Life seems so....so...hopeless.

To not believe in anything WITHOUT evidence.
Faith doesn't play into that equation.
How is life hopeless? It's incredibly precious!
The only difference between you and I is that you live this life for one reason only...to get to the afterlife. But, as Mark Twain said, you aren't in any hurry to get there.
