Eh, who cares. Straws are fun.

I'm sure you have personal reasons for believing whatever you believe. My point was only that you have no factual logical reasons that use evidence to explain your beliefs. My point is that you're just saying you believe something and there's nothing left to discuss.
And you should do some more studying of the strawman fallacy. It means that I object to something you haven't said and argue against that. Which I haven't done. I'm not even arguing against you at all. I'm just giving my analysis of the thread. I'm saying I don't see the purpose of starting a thread just to say well it's just what we believe.
Doesn't sound like your analysis of the thread, sounds like your analysis of me specifically, since you didn't address the other side at all. Saying I'm admitting to not having demonstrable evidence is fair enough. But making it out like I said "I have no reason to believe what I do" is just not fair, since I never said it.
Perhaps you don't see the point in me starting this thread. But people always ask me why I believe in God, and I've been in discussions about objective morality before where some people had a hard time understanding what I meant by it. So posting a video that explains one reason why I believe in God, as well as talking about objective morality, didn't seem pointless at all.
This is the second thread I ever started on here specifically to present my views on something (the other being my thread about Hell). Every other serious threads I've started have been to ask you guys about your views. It has become clear that doing so was a mistake and not worth it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
