    Why don't you start with the assumption that there is a religion from God and the rules he has set for us are purely for our benefit?

    Religion exists to show us how to worship God and you should consider that the act of worship is something that you can not escape. You can replace it with some other transcendental value such as your political ideology, the WOKE have their rainbow movement, the right wing cling to nationalism. But there is only despair and depression down that road for those individuals. Don't take my word for it, make your own observation, tell me with a straight face that these people are not killing themselve & moving towards the normalisation of absurd practices, that will harm children and in turn society overall...

    Tell me that moving away from God hasn't been corrosive for society? Where you once gained a severe level of mistrust with your priests for the abuses of their position, you are now slowly seeing a severe level of mistrust for scientists too, post covid. So where do you go? Can you go back to the priests who have sold their soul to fit in ****sexuality into their religion? They have been complicit in destroying their own church because they lacked confidence in what they believed.

    Being religious is innate. People subscribe to a philosophical world view and think they have escaped the fold of religion when the reality is there is nothing but religion. The aethiest today is controlled by *******ism and imposes that world view upon others with drone bombs and sanctions.

    A better question worth pondering upon: is God worthy of worship and why? If he is than how did he communicate to us if at all? Which major religion in the world is standing steadfast today, that makes the claim that they have the unchanged word of God? Which religion today is unshifting in its principles, so much so that the very countries that now champion degenerate practices have tried to attack it in the media, academia and across several wars, only to fail?

    If God is real, there is a reason why he won't show himself, have you pondered upon why?

    Its because he wants us to make a choice to worship him. He has given us our rational faculties to see his signs in the world around us. If he appeared infront of us then there would be no choice left but to believe!

    This life is a test. Poverty is a test. Wealth is also a test. The atheist has you convinced that the mechanism behind these tests are the means!

    Look at the state of the modern athiest, they are the most impoverished people who are falling victim to their own hubrious and arrogance.
    In denying God they have done nothing but denied themselves in this life and in the next.

    Stand in the possibility that God is real. Consider Islam. Conduct a sincere investigation and make a sincere prayer to God.

    "If you are there, then guide me."

    You have nothing to lose, but everything to gain. If you are a cynical disbeliever, then what have you lost? Nothing.

    But if you are the latter consider this especially before you mock me. 0+0+0 = does not equate to something.

    To believe so is to be delusional.

      Exactly right.

        Why wasn't it enough for them to say: Murder is bad for societal stability, if you kill someone we will punish you with death?

        Belief in God is innate. So much so that you have conceded that if God is false then we would have to invent him.

        Your human nature is a sign of his existence.

        If you do not belive that is the case, then tell me why there is something rather than nothing?

        Show me a man who threw a random bunch of alphabets into the air and formed a coherent sentence which reflected his intended meaning, let alone formed a deliberate piece of literature like Macbeth. We would never expect that to be a reasonable request. Yet you want us to believe that of the world around us?

        God is the best possible explanation for this existence. He is the uncreated. The prime mover. Your way of thinking is backwards.

        He was a hidden treasure and he wished to be known.

        So why do you deny him his due? Is this not a lack of gratitude? Do you know the power of gratitude in one's life? have you practiced it?

        Do you know why the ******s pray five times a day? Have you ever pondered the spiritual benefit behind something that can be a disruption? Pursue the answers for these things. Forget foxnews, look up what the Islamic scholars such as Al-Ghazali had to say about these matters. It will not be to your loss.
