In fact, I think myself to be quite average, and am constantly trying to improve myself, as should everyone. Under no circumstances would I ever think myself worthy of worship. I am nothing special, I am certainly not a God.(November 15, 2017 at 5:45 pm)Mister Agenda Wrote: You think I'm lying about what I've wondered? Y'know, you don't have to be a petty little shit, you're not worth the effort of attempting to deceive. If you don't trust me to tell the truth about what I've wondered, fuck you.I think you were coming something to argue with Theists, not actually wondering about the Creator that you know exists. And I don't believe most Atheists honestly doubt God, I believe they deceiving lie to themselves about God and disbelieve in God in that regard.
It was a hard thing for me to realize, but I do realize it now. There are some confused Atheists, I don't believe you are one of them.

You don't know yourself to even worship and value that above all, for who knows themselves, knows their Lord.
Also, I reject your claim that a person has to know the lord to know themselves, as there is no lord to know. God is merely an idea.
To know yourself, you have to question yourself and be honest with yourself. Worshiping a God that may or may not exist does nothing to progress that.
