It's all a joke, but sometimes it just aint gorram funny. I feel ya.
Is it the full moon again, or just a crap misalignment of stars? Seems I'm not alone in my feelings today.
Misery loves company, though, right? Welcome aboard.
Day late an'a dollar short...Story of my ruttin' life!

Once you humanize your God you render the notion irrelevant. Any deity by definition should be beyond human reach and/or comprehension.
To conceive the notion requires purpose which then demands reason and sense, however the very concept is unreasonable and makes no sense.... so

It seems logical that there is something behind the creation of the Universe
Sorry, really, but it isn't logical. According to logic, you cannot explain any event by attributing it to something even more inexplicable (such as a deity). That is Infinite Regress, and is a counter-logical argument.
I don't mean to be rude, or pick on your beliefs. I'm open minded enough to admit that we as human beings don't know everything, and that I could be wrong in my belief that there is no god, just cosmic accidents. I even admit that logic may not always have the answers - occam's razor isn't as sharp as it used to be
But to say that the notion of our being created by higher beings is logical is technically innaccurate."Gorramit Mal... I've forgotten my line."

"Gorramit Mal... I've forgotten my line."
But don't forget that I followed that statement with the fact I don't attribute any anthropomorphic properties to whatever it was that is responsible for the creation. You can't offend me because I prefer to say that I don't have any beliefs because I'm not intelligent enough to understand the essence of what that sort of deity might be like. All religions, and even most philosophies of a more secular nature, have as their purpose an attempt to explain the unexplainable.
If it is not logical to assume a creator then it certainly isn't logical to assume otherwise either.

It "seems" logical.... huh.
To me, it "seems" just as "logical" (as in, there is little to be applied in the conversation) that we are just a natural occurrence.
