Theists: what does your god want for you?

[Neo-Scholastic]

if I am cocky, but I don't think I am cocky. I have had many people tell me that I am humble.

That's probably just an affectation of your writing style. Some people say I come off as smug and pretentious. I can see why. My style of writing is oddly formal, perhaps because I try so hard (most times) to be very precise. Your fervor could easily be misconstrued as cocky. But the way a person writes doesn't necessarily reflect their off-line everyday personality. i try to remind myself of that when reading, particularly when it's with someone whose style seems truly hostile.
