Spiritually speaking, whats the point?

Many people (including myself) would believe in god if he were to show himself but he never will because the whole point is to believe in him without ever seeing him. This is why it is called faith. God can never be proven scientifically because he is a supernatural being therefore he is not subject to natural laws which would prove his existence. Knowing the existence of god can not be proven, why bother even arguing about it. Nonbelievers are never going to believe if they can't see him and believers won't stop believing because they are scared of burning for eternity. Is it really worth it?

    It wouldn't be an issue if it was just about ideology. When religion starts creeping into and influencing government and social policies, it becomes something worth being vocal about.

    It's entertainment for some, a hobby for others, and a matter of life and death for the rest.

    Logic just says the whole thing is absolutely ridiculous.

    Nobody believes because they are scared of burning for eternity. They believe because they are weak-minded.

    Nope. I find arguing about the unknowable pointless too, but when people persist in such, there's only one thing you can do about it. Hope they don't kill you.
