If no god existed, would you still want to believe in one?
The most interesting question still remains to be "if you're parents were Hindus instead of Christians, would you still be a Christian?" (presuming it is a Christian who is answering).
However, the former is still an interesting musing, methinks. Willful delusion certainly gets you out of the nasties and I think it could be revelatory of one of the motivations behind belief, of course, assuming the answerer is honest with themselves. Regardless, I think it's a worthwhile pondering and I'd be interested to hear a theists point of view on such a question.
