Was there ever a time when you didn't know life without God? If there was, why can't you remember what it was like? Why can't you answer Brian's question in the form: Was life not beautiful without there being a God? For an "honest answer" to Brian's question, I'm giving you a D-minus.  People who think they have all the answers usually don't understand the questions.

Phat writes: ...but I am telling you that once He fills your heart you cannot see life without Him ever again!! You're talking about the future when I asked you about the past. I asked you why you can't remember what life was like without God. A better present and a hoped-for future don't explain erasure of the past. If you can't remember the past, how do you know the present is really better?
At least give me a C+! I take one point off for every exclamation mark. You're getting a mercy-pass as it is. People who think they have all the answers usually don't understand the questions.

2)Loneliness I've never felt more alone than when I'm in a crowd of "Christians". I suspect that God feels the same way.
3)blissful times partying with friends...none of whom had any more of a clue about life than I did. Ignorance is bliss, but that isn't always a bad thing. Having "clues" about life is not my goal any more. Living life is my goal.
4) No knowledge of Charismaniacal church folk beyond what I saw on TV. That sounds like a good thing.
5) A vibrant life filled with an endless striving to climb high mountains, lose more weight, and find myself in the process. Is your transmission slipping? That sounds more like an "after" than a "before". Has your life stopped vibrating since you "found" God? (How badly was He lost?) Have you found yourself yet? If not, I'd suggest looking around Denver - the Safeways might be a good place to start. People who think they have all the answers usually don't understand the questions.
