I had mandatory religious education for 5 years at secondary school. I also took it as a subject for my final two years of school for my exams. (That meant double RE lessons some days) then took Philosophy and History of Religion for another 2 years alongside other subjects at college.
If there were a solid argument for god I think I may have heard it by now.

If people saw heaven, or angles, they would believe right away. That's not the goal.
Thats still pretty stupid. If I created a thing that had no way of knowing that I created it and then punished it for not know who I am or listening to my rules then that would make me a colossal prick.

You cared to do the right thing, you cared to know if your existence has a goal or not.
So for me, it's not like a contract & a deal. I -personally- believe, because I care to know what the truth is.
Well your going about finding the truth out wrong. My first day at secondary school I walked into an RE class and saw a diagram like this:
Although there were far more.
If there were really a god surely there would be a way to tell which religion is right or wrong. But there is not.
I therefore thing the most sensible conclusion to draw considering the lack of evidence for any religion is that they are wrong. I have never heard a convincing argument for the existence of god.

Even if there were a god I'm certainly not sure if it would be worthy of my thanks.

Terrible idea. Considering a god should know what I am going to do before I do it then surely he should have ditched this daft amnesia deal. Otherwise god is to blame for putting me into a situation where I am an atheist.
