Something comes after that. You believe a god exists. Why?

How do you know those things were necessarily caused by a god? How do you tell the difference between something happening because of natural circumstances and something happening because a supernatural God willed it to be?

How do you tell the difference between something happening because of natural circumstances and something happening because a supernatural God willed it to be? In my mind, my fortunate circumstances are too fortunate to have not been orchestrated by a higher power.

So, you don’t have an objective way to tell the difference then? It’s just your feeling about it?

So, you don’t have an objective way to tell the difference then? It’s just your feeling about it? Yeah, but it's a strong feeling. Let's put it this way......if I were to record an album, and I was compiling a "Thanks to (insert name here)" list of people who helped me make the album, or inspired the album in some way, I would feel bad not including God.

Why, god doesn't feel bad not including you.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

We've already established that you know nothing - we're talking about your feels. You being offended by a statement of fact is another example of the genre.
