This is all the choice really is. Proofs of God will come to you and be known by you if you make the choice to love everything good that exists.

Sounds like you're trying to combine a false dichotomy (claiming there are only two choices), and special pleading (claiming all good things are associated with your god).

I can love a lot of things, and find fulfillment in this world, without the inclusion of your deity. Why take time out of my day to give praise to something I can't prove exists? Especially on who has views I'm not always going to agree on?
