Evidence for God being "a superior being" ?

I'm not trying to convience you or anyone on this forum that they should believe in God. God has given the gift of freewill for you to decide what ever you wish and it's not for me to beat you or anyone else over the head with my beliefs.
Bafflement captures the expressed emotion more closely, I'd say. That it was a statement about yourself ("the worship that is given to God and the reason for that worship is evidence that God is a superior being") doesn't change the fact that it exposes that you think circular reasoning is sound reasoning.

Your perception that I might interpret this as a pressure of any kind to convince me, just is so cudly sweet, it brings tears to my eyes. It almost makes me wanna kneel down and pray something like "Sweet daddyo in the sky of this three storey universe, forgive this sorry ass, for he doesn't have a clue"

If there really was freewill in a acausal sense, you could choose your own will. Fact of life is that you can't. Just try it. Apart from that, i'm very interested in the part in the bible were god hands over the freewill to mankind. It poses some deep questions. If he handed freewill down to us, and at the same time freewill is our freewill, the will that we are willing, that sort of defines our personal specifics, than what was there to receive it and what configured it? Surely with nobody else around at the time, god must have configured that freewill to his likings, therewith rendering useless that very concept as a means to install independent agency in humans. It seems to me that this crap story is a rather cheap way of taking no responsibility for creation.

In conclusion, you can add more nonsense to a nonsensical argument, but it will never make more sense.
