Aren't we self-righteous? Well short answer for you, no, but I don't think I want to be anything like you either. What's more, I don't think ignoring my sense of reason and blindly adhering to that worldview you possess will fix anything. Try suggesting more secular, practical, and logical solutions for our problems instead. Perhaps then, someone might listen.
Alright Petterguy, you can sit and pray your existence away. If you don't mind, I will continue to make my way into the ranks of those humans who are attempting to improve our life experience by means of gaining scientific knowledge and adding new perspectives and data to the collective pool of human understanding. I hope someday you will grow tired of begging God to improve our quality of life, and perhaps you will realize that we already have the means to better ourselves. You don’t have to believe in an afterlife to justify this one, and you don’t have to beg a deity for gifts that we already have the means to acquire. Honestly, I wish you well.
I find your argument lacking to say the least. It was nicely displayed however. I must admit. Regardless, attempting to prove the existence of God is fruitless. This only defines the nature of the argument once more. I consider myself a Secular Humanist. In my opinion, the question of God's existence is unanswerable and unknowable. I do feel strongly that the Abrahamic version of God is highly suspicious. Forgive me, but I fail to understand why a God would "bless" humans with the ability to reason, and then condemn them to suffer in the afterlife for denying him by using the very gift that he granted them. I do not know if a deity exists, however I greatly suspect that you have no more proof or knowledge of that deity than I do. If we are to be condemned to Hell (or some such) for questioning our world, then I'll see you all there. Good day.
