The enthusiasm is admirable, as expressed here. You're missing the point of the thread, though, it's about theoretical reasons for preferring theism over other worldviews. So, we have to try and give a cold and accurate assessment of the inner motivation that enables people to keep moving forward
I'm missing the point of the thread, it says. Buddy, I think you're missing the point of life.
So...
I obvously don't prefer theism over other worldviews - I'm an anti-theist and vocal about it. I think that your gods and idols are just one more source of misery that puts people in the disadvantaged sets you ask us to consider...when you opine on how unworthy life is for living. I see you have reasons™...I'm noticing that they're all hot garbage. Would you call your own life not worth living if big mo told a teensy tiny fib? Is there nothing other than a gods existence you live for? If there is...wtf lead you to pose the question?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. 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!
