Default Re: Who would be more disappointed to find out the truth?

[ QUOTE ]
Either there is a God or there isn't. Assume that sometime in the future we are able to learn the truth (let's not argue that proving God does not exist may be impossible). Who do you think would be the most disappointed - an Atheist finding out God does exist or a Theist finding out he does not?

[/ QUOTE ]
Its a bit more complicated. A theist must be disappointed if there's no god, most atheists would be delighted if it they found out a benevolent god exists.

Everyone will be disappointed if a non-benevolent god exists.
