No, actually, a Creator of the world, considering how fucked up so much of the world presently is, does not make sense. Some Creator! He plops down the world and then just vanishes! Never to be heard from again except by crackpots and charlatans.

Of all the arguments religious believers have ever come up with, that has to be one of the emptiest and lamest. What does it even mean? Nothing. Just empty bafflegab, like so much of religion.

However, I will agree that if one is pining to fill the God-shaped hole in one's heart, one will have no trouble finding a God-babbling huckster to empty one's wallet.

That argument is so strong.

But please stop talking about the longings of my heart!
