Do you wish there's a god?

You're living in a bygone era dude. Christian Fundamentalism as a political force, died with the election of Trump. It's non-religious, secular right wing influences that seem to be on the rise everywhere. That and folks on the far left, and the politics of resentment that fuels them.

Pretty much all the prominent atheist figures have abandoned the fight against religion, and more obsessed about the culture wars, feminism, pc culture, etc...

You need to get with the times.

I'm in the 'times' when Right Wing Christian Fundamentalists are at their peak of power, and getting harmful legislation passed at an unprecedented rate. You seem to already be dwelling in a future where that's no longer the case. I live in South Carolina, dwelling in the future isn't a realistic option for me.

I'm not reluctant to say why I'm convinced of theism, and if I expressed a variety of reasons for that. I'm just not inclined to try and convince strangers on the internet to believe as I do, because that's a fools errand.

Would you elaborate please, on the difference between 'reluctant' and 'not inclined'?

Everyone should be looking for reasons not to believe claims and affirm their unbelief.

You'd have to fight against your biological makeup for that. Our brains are setup to rewards us for affirming the beliefs we hold. The reward centers of both atheist and theists brains light up when affirming these positions. Particularly since such beliefs are connected our conceptions of self, and our identify.

My biological makeup is whey subjecting claims to scrutiny regardless of who is making them doesn't come naturally. It's not a reason not to try my best to evaluate claims based on sound reasoning anyway.
