There is also some emphasis cold hard facts and lack of inherent meaning in things which I believe is not the case. When I bring this up the first argument I think I'm likely to hear will be against purpose and intelligent design. Neither of which can be substantiated in any convincing way. Just like God can't be proven and to believe is inherently going to be a personally subjective experience. There's no escaping that but to say that personal subjectivity has a bearing on the truth of something, like an emotion, for example.
Your emotions go on all the time and often go unquestioned - even when they're wrong, and there's no real way of escaping this either, yet this is often the sort of thing which is added to the concept that life is this rigid structure of subjectives, interpretation, etc, etc. Where's the love? What is love outside of how it's experienced? Similar to God, in my opinion.
So God is comparable to an emotional response to stimuli?
