Fail does not work on me Sans, you have to try another demeaning tactic; I am doing here far more than you even realize! The groundwork being laid here on the proofs of God, are destined to live into tommorrow. And certain people are going to grab hold of them and maginify them in ways that even I am not aware of.
Or perhaps a god complex may fit better....It is an unshakable belief characterized by consistently inflated feelings of personal ability, privilege, or infallibility. A person with a god complex may refuse to admit the possibility of error or failure, or may regard personal opinions as unquestionably correct.
You, like many Atheist, have COM on your head- ( Christian on the mind!); the frist humans with consciousness- the first to believe in God, were not Christians- nor any other religion- they were just average people who knew about their creator; the delusion in your mind is the hurting christianity put on you, and you can't get over it.
Naaahh... Your assumptions precede you as usual. I looked into several of the alternates when the big C proved to be such a frickin' failure. First, some less intense versions of Christianity than the High English crap (again, a subset of Catholicism but without the Latin. Buncha priests in special hats, and so on.). Then Buddhism, Wicca, and others. All of it: no go. Irrational, illiterate and sadly unhelpful when it comes down to the final reality show!
So they all failed, (an Epic Fail, as we say, esp. in cases like yours..) all having ritualistic chants and specific limitations on free thinking, which is abhorent to me in any version. It's so obvious that impediment has landed on your head, Mickiel, no matter how you've arrived at your present interim, transitional psychological state. To wit: you're not capable of breaking free of them. Fear I suspect.
Yep, all the frightened lemmings hid in their cages back then, and you still do. Too bad; it's so much brighter and the air's so much cleaner and invigorating out here! You really ought to try it, "M"!

I now more than suspect it's a genetic thing, Na'vi! Some types/kinds/sub-species of hominid actually prefer to be in there. It gives them the sense of security they crave, esp. as they approach the Big Final End, but desperately hope it's The Golden Ship Embarkation Event they've been promised, and to which they so feverishly anticipate.
There's a certain pained look of realization in their eyes at that point though, when they are at the final moment, and when they realize there's no bright light (other than that one the nurses turn on over their death bed...) there to welcome them, and therefore they have WASTED the entirety of their potentially uplifting but now wasted spiritual lives on the setups dreamed up by others just to maintain control over these poor people's lives.

It's Selective Evolution thing, sans; when it comes up against reality, it's OK to go with parts of the facts of Evolution, but when it interferes with The Big God Lie, it becomes the lie. Convenient, huh?
Too bad the truth doesn't work that way though.....
Sanctuary is an historical proof of God; where did even the idea of a sacred or Holy place come from? Why would churchs even be conceived without there being a " God basis for it?" Humans have always built a private place to retreat and sanctum;this is where the term" Sanction" began; its authoritive permission; and early humans had a binding force between them and that Holy Authority.

You see it goes like this
Step1 create a god
Step2 build a church for worshiping said god
Step3 make up rules about said church
TADA........sanctuary (as old hunchy used to say)
To help you understand the proofs of God, your mind must go into " Saga Mode", because really the Great God is a legend, an awesome narrative of extraordinary exploits, you have to shift gears in your consciousness and prepare yourself for legendary thinking! Read Job chapters 38-42 and let them counsel you on this iconoclastic being, what he has done and without limit can do. THEN the stage of your consciousness is set to even begin this incredible journey into the actual proof! His wonder will pry you open and you will begin to see his power in everything that exist, AND, your saga mode can push your consciousness even into areas that humans don't even yet know exist!
Ahh yes... we're up to the "S"s now. Impressive. Thankfully, that means we may soon be at the end of the Mickiel's Grande Dictionary of Nouns/Godly Proofs.

FYI, Big M (this being one of the more succinct graphics out there, soz to not confound your head...)
Affection is a way to prove God to yourself; espically when just even the " Idea of God is inseparable from your consciousness;" this means you have a very real affection for him. Its a dedication in your mind; a sentiment; and these are the very things that bring realness to life.
