I disagree. I seek guidance from my family, from my close friends, from my past experiences. There's guidance everywhere, no god needed

What do you mean guidance everywhere? If you mean truth mixed with falsehood, yes that is true. There is a lot of guidance mixed with error everywhere. 

Moral guidance mixed with moral erring is whence evil can be justified in the illusion one is acting out of good. 

If falsehood was presented all by itself with no truth mixed in it, no one would believe in it.  And if truth and falsehood are separated clearly in people mind,  then we would be united.

But the truth is things are all mixed and evil is usually justified by mixing truth with it and masking it with the goodness.


Everyone seeks guidance naturally and guidance is everywhere, but so is error whence error and guidance are all moshed up everywhere.

If you want guidance real guidance, not mixed with falsehood, evil, and error,   if you want clarity without confusion, that takes acknowledgement of God and your enemies who seek to mislead you,   and do depend on the Mastery of God through his handhold and rope while disbelieving in all else that opposes his choice.
