Wanting or desiring for him to exist doesn't make it so.
ecolox Wrote:I want to live as if God exists, doing according to His will (i.e. bringing fairness to all).
Again, wanting or desiring for him to exist doesn't make it so.

That is far from a decent reason to believe in something.

Why is god needed for you to be able to help others? That does not make sense to me. We should do it out of the pure desire of our hearts. You are implying that you need something in return.
