Oh because I feel I am right regarding one matter and I hope others reach the same conclusion as I do because I feel it will be better for them in terms of well being, it means I feel that I am a better human than all those who have not reached my conclusion?
Also, I do believe in intercessory prayers simply because I believe God wants us to help one another and not feel ashamed of receiving help from others. As he is the closest and greatest of all beings, we definitely should not feel ashamed of asking his help, and I don't think he wants us to only ask him for ourselves either.

I need a transcendent origin/creator/mother to validate my worth, yes I do, because value would be a delusion or at the very least, I would not feel I know value to exist, without that verification.
