And I mean this purely as a way to provide you to feel the sheer WTF reaction we express when you quote bible passages and think that things like life are evidence of a god.
Imagine please, a person who professed a strong belief in the truth of his "holy" book, that contains the inspiring tale of Jack & The Beanstalk, the sheer awe this believer receives from the truth of Aesop's Fables, the bravery displayed in 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, etc. And how he is inspired to stand up for right and virtue from the teachings of Beowulf, King Arthur, Robin Hood, and Sinbad. The old testament is comprised of The Silmarillion, telling of the formations of the earth by the gods, and of the days of miracles, which slowly faded as god called his chosen people the elves home to Valinor. Only the god of the Silmarillion could explain the universe and life he tells you. And then of course a modern sect has adopted the Matrix as the prophesized new new testament, which the oldschool and traditional believers don't accept naturally.
Imagine somebody who believed all that, and then just take a moment to realize your rejection of those as true beliefs. That's what you sound like when you discuss your religion. I'm sure you think we sound like the adults in a Charlie Brown cartoon, "Wah wah wah, wah wah wah wah wah."
