Also I expect, based on the faith I carry, that the God I pray to will reward me with something big.
Really?
Hmmm.... so, why resign yourself to some belief in an unknowable thing instead of sticking purely with the known things and trying to find out what we can about the Universe we live in?... and, if possible, whatever lies beyond the Universe...
Until it is actually knowable, withholding belief seems to me to be most intellectually honest position.
Tell me, concerning that reward you expect... why would you expect to be rewarded merely for blindly believing what others told you about that god?
Do you think a hypothetical god that made mankind into the thinking reasoning intelligent beings that we are would be happy if we just mindlessly followed what some people wrote or said about it?
