1. It is better to sincerely try to objectively seek the vision of guidance boobledyboo rather than not.
2. If God bibbledybee doesn't exist, there is no reason to believe one can gain vision of guidance boobledyboo.
3. If there is no reason to believe one can gain vision of guidance boobledyboo, than it is not better to objectively seek the vision of guidance boobledyboo rather then not.

1, 3. If both these premises are true, we can conclude there are reason to believe one can vision of guidance boobledyboo. Call this premise (4).

4, 2 proves God bibbledybee exists if both premises are true.

And you implicit were stating this, but you didn't know it. I gathered this from your sentiment.
FIFY

Feel free to fill in the nonsense non-words of your choice. It all amounts to the same thing.

Can anyone give me applause and an /thread, yo?

Funnily enough that's exactly what I was thinking of doing to try and understand it, but with decidedly less style Wink... just using A's and B's for placeholders for word salad:

1. It is better to seek A.
2. If B doesn't exist, THEN there is no reason to think A exists.
3. If there is no reason to think A exists THEN it is better not to seek A.
4. If 1 [It is better to seek A] is true AND 3 [if there is no reason to think A exists then it is better not to seek A] is true THEN there is reason to believe A exists.
THEREFORE: 2 [If B doesn't exist THEN there is no reason to think A exists] PROVES B exists if 1 [It is better to seek A] is true AND 3 [if there is no reason to think A exists then it is better not to seek A] is true.

Still doesn't make any sense and I agree with K that 1 begs the question; why make that assumption that feeds directly into the conclusion?
