I'm afraid you people still aren't understanding pragmatism.
If "puppy's are not self aware feeling beings" were true i.e. puppies are no more self aware than rocks, then logically there's nothing wrong with torturing puppies. That then is not a meaningless statement because its truth has practical consequences.
Now, in the sentence "If God exists, therefore I could be logically compelled or allowed to do or not do 'x' as a result of his existence?" what is 'x'?
