What is the point of a theist's existence? So you get to appreciate appreciate "the glory of God" and what not, ok...but what is the objective point of that? What is the point of a god at all?
I argue that the theist's point to existing is no less contrived than the atheist's, it merely has an extra layer of onion skin. I'm glad I exist (as an atheist), I don't see an objective point to it (nor do I think I need one); and finally I think the value of my existence is no less (or no more) than a theist's.

It was all man made, the entire thing. Creative people can convince others easily enough, that has been proven time and time again. No god needed to make the christian faith, just creative people.

against God to just ignore His love.
