You all "fear" being wrong so much because of the implication on both sides

1 There is no god
2 There is a god

it is sad.

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

I don't fear god or the lack of a god. The possibility of a god that would let this happen doesn't even compute in my brain. If there was a god, it was either drunk or schizophrenic, or lost a bet, and had to make a pretty shitty world. Not to say that I'm not enjoying every second of my perfect life, but I'm aware that not everybody's as insanely eternally happy as I am, the poor saps.

 Or acted exactly like your average human would. I mean if I was omnipotent then the world would be approximately as fucked as it currently is.

Well I'm sorry you'd make a fucked world.  If I was G-d I'd zap anybody who believed in me or tried to tell people what I believed, felt, or wanted, because nobody would have any idea, and I'd promote science, food, education, and peace.  Once everybody had jobs and free health care and free education and there were no homeless, I'd reveal myself and ask people for crazy ideas, and then I'd do what people wanted and enjoy sharing my eternity with them.  It'd be easy, harmless, and fun for everybody.  If a G-d wanted anything less, I hate his hypohetical hateful vengeful evil selfish worthless ass.
