And that it is immoral to do otherwise.
Those who believe in god's existence have overly complicated him due to the fact that they have zero evidence for his existence. From their warped, illogical perspective, god has to be something we cannot understand, and because he is a "god" beyond human understanding his reasons have to be supernatural as well as accepted by the creations. It makes no sense, especially if we have evolved to the point that we understand morality yet have to subvert it for some divine being's mysterious intentions that clearly are not moral whatsoever. A true knowledgeable intellect comprehends the god as immoral, tyrannical, etc, but the cognitive dissonance of the believer continues to make excuse after excuse for this imaginatively created being who supposedly knows what is better for us than we do.
