So, where did God come from, anyway? Fairly silly of you to introduce "First Causes", considering your religion sidesteps the issue completely.
Nope. Science doesn't spend a lot of time pondering questions with no answer. Religion spends a lot of time inventing answers that don't exist.
God said, "I am", meaning He always was and always will be. His purpose was to give the gift of Life. That's why He created, or caused the universe to exist. See.
" they have no ability to give the Putative Creator a reason for Her Urge."
The Creator came to teach. He gave the reason, to extend the gift of life.
"Men have an ego that cannot comprehend it's own non-existence, and refuses to try. "
I have an ego. I can and have also comprehended my own nonexistence. So this is false.
"So it invents the concept of "life after death" for self-comfort and convinces the rational part of the mind to buy it."
No, I am well aware of my limitations.
"Morality: that act of self-interest that recognizes the "Golden Rule" as the optimal means of maintaining existence in an organized society, the only sort of existence likely to enhance survival of a individual evolved to be in such societies.
Part of what God came to teach and what He was killed for.
"Love - a bonding emotion tying parents to offspring and each other to ensure the survival of the offspring."
The purpose of creation.
