I don't have life in me by a trick, so why should I expect anything less?

Life is real, so is love, grace, fairness, reward and justice.

If the Source of life offers me more, why make a noose out of the rope let down?

You're right in that the life in you is not a trick but it's also not magic. It is simply biologic life. When the biology stops so shall you. And me, and everyone. 

Life can also be love, grace, fairness, reward and justice. However those attributes do not require a fantasy god. 

Your "Source" is your delusion. That is the trick.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
