1. The absence of evidence isn't always evidence of absence

How does 2 follow from 1?
I find your stubborn rejection of reason disturbing. and by the way, watching Craig videos is not studying logic, it is studying ANTI-logic. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. You are a perfect example of this.
You didn't actually respond at all to what I said.

More specifically, if some form of creator being does exist I see no point in worshipping it, nor do I see a point in convincing myself/others that it has set guidelines for me to live my life by. "God" as written about by man is a complete invention. Could it all have been started by one being? Perhaps, but I can't possibly know that certainly in either direction. I do believe that it is not this character of God that man has created, however.
If the God of Jesus Christ exists there is a good possibility that you will go to hell when you die… that seems enough of a reason to take the question seriously.
