As for the hard liquor - no need to hide it in front of me, I'm not your god - I won't be judging you for it. I feel like we're losing the pulse, though. Is there any valuation or human tick that you wouldn't expect another person to share with you if those people didn't hold your beliefs about a god?
It's my opinion that these beliefs we might hold about value and the nature of being - even of being, proper... are wildly overdetermined.
No, it's not, this is pointless. You just acknowledged that there are happy people in the world who don't believe in your god. Your perspective, is that you wouldn't be happy. I suppose it's a dead end. No one can think of anything a person can only get from a belief in god.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
