I'm labelling your points to keep it under control, hope you dont mind.
- Implies god's existence as first proposition
- Why must a creator be ultimately beautiful?
- Why must we seek this intimacy?
- How are we to interact with a transcendental entity, if god is and is so?
You're presupposing your own view of god is correct, which is dumb.
- You say we want richness but you're simply imposing your own desires onto others. How can you ever say what I, or anyone else, wants?
- The soul? What is that?
- What is this quality you keep speaking of, called 'beauty'?
wut?
Excuse me? what is a personhood/soul? I have no idea what you're referring to. This 'inside' escapes me, what is it the inside of?

Therefore what reason is there to suppose that in each individual there is beauty? Its a more compelling argument that supports no beauty than any. Therefore, to summarise, what is this property you call beauty?
Quote:2I wouldn't know about that. We are attracted to beauty, God is Ultimate beauty, and we want an intimate experience with ultimate beauty that is of a spiritual nature.

Quote:We want richness, but true happiness and peace lies inside. True richness is inward, yet we seek it outwardly. We want beauty, but neglect the beauty of the soul. We are attracted to beauty, but ignore the ultimate beauty and higher exalted beauty.

Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.
