Do you believe in God? And why? (where is the proof)
p.s. I sure never have seen any.

What are you looking for?

I believe in God and 'one' of the reasons is “The Absurdity of Life Without God”

I hope you can take a few minutes and listen.

I had a listen. Appeals to false dichotomy and appeal to the consequences. Throws in a nice little strawman, too.

It's a string of logical fallacies in an attempt to handwave a 'necessity' of a God to give our lives meaning by appealing to what he wants to be real (rather than what is demonstratably real), without actually demonstrating that a god of any sort exists. Bulds a story of gloom and doom regarding the eventual 'death' of the universe and then asserts that a god exists simply because we need hope.

Guess what. Wanting there to be a god does not mean that a god exists. It will take more than weak logical fallacies to convince me.
