Boobs, therefore god. Wait, naked boobs, therefore god. Hang on, naked perky boobs, therefore god. Hold the phone, naked perky boobs with erect nipples and stevie wonder bumps, therefore god.
I'm done now.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Yep.
All of the, so called, philosophical arguments for the existence of a god are flawed.
Cosmological, teleological, ontological, TAG, Aquinas's "5 ways", etc, etc. All of them have at least one fallacy and/or unsound premise.
They are only convincing to the already convinced.
But yeah, "there's stuff, therefore there's a stuff maker" is pretty damned moronic.
I always return to this:
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

The single greatest benefit to a universe without God is:
There can be no personal metaphorical mental gymnastics to suit one's biased agenda!
Praise be there no God!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
