Dude, if you understood any of the history of this earth which is recorded in the rocks, much less the rudiments of astrophysics, then you would know you don't need a god to understand and contemplate your own relative insignificance. You bring to this discussion the canard you've been taught that atheists are all self-conceited, and you insult us with it - so who's the asshole really?

Oh goody - more arguments! Will it never sink through your head that arguments are useless here when you bring in the claim to knowing something we don't?
On an existential question, there are only two appropriate answers:
1. Present evidence which all can observe
2. Admit it's absence when that's the case
In the case of 2, stop making the assertion!! When it comes to this, feel free to go seek out a better idea, or stick around and actually consider the ideas of others.
Argument by itself is NOT evidence. By itself it can never be concrete nor circumstantial, and this is why they are always at best non-sequitorial. All that you will ever succeed at doing when you argue that way is insult people who aren't already believers. Please, stop that!
Quote:However if you ask me why I personally believe, it has nothing to do with these arguments. God is the manifest King to me. I don't follow some dead code called "morality", I follow a living guidance/light who is the light of the universe and all those in it.
...and you are asserting that to atheists, which is why we have the right to demand that you either tell us why you think it's the factual truth, or stop making that assertion here. HINT: Truth <> Ideological reasons for believing. So how do you know that "light" isn't all the workings of your own mind?
Mr. Hanky loves you!
