Worship means what is Valued Most.
We know Worship ought to be Sacred.
Without God, Worship is not sacred.

A brief proof of 2nd premise:

Without God, we ourselves become the central focus of value, and naturally feel ashamed of what woshiping ourselves.
We should not feel ashamed of what we value most.
We should feel ashamed of worshiping ourselves and petty things like wealth, prestige, sex, etc....

Therefore we know worship out to be sacred.

The conclusion we know God exists naturally follows.

But aside from that, even if you reject that, was has been proven right from the start, there is no such thing as Atheism by definition.




Nope. No equivocation fallacies anywhere in this 'proof'.

None at all.

Nor are there any unsupported assertions. None of those either.

Sorry, MK, but just because you think something ought to be a certain way, does not make it so.

Remember the days you considered yourself an agnostic, and actually had some rational reasons for your agnosticism, instead of these BS reasons form being a theist?

Yeah, I miss those days too.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
