I'm not sure why you keep bringing up ants, but this is a statement about the "why." You have made a statement, which means you consider your answer to have value.
To demonstrate the importance of "why," let me ask you this, is the purpose of your continued existence to continue existing no matter what? Is it, maybe, to continue existing until you don't like it anymore? At such time, are you free to discontinue your own existence?
Ants are a good comparison between our level of existence and those things which may be “God-like”. It fits.
As a rational being, why would I want to voluntarily end my existence? As a rational being, why would I want to end someone Else’s existence unless they were a direct threat to my continued existence?
Why would I trust anyone Else’s words that might contravene what my own intelligence it telling me about how my life should be lived? Especially when there are competing religions offering those words...
