First i would like to state that i am as big of an atheist as it gets, i even lead an organized structure in my city that tries to get people out of an obsessive habit in religion to a more manageable way of life in society... With or (preferred) without god.
Second, your point towards 59 invalidates itself
If the universe can be pointless (my personal belief) then it can also be that god was created by a pointless entity and we ourselves have been created with a reason by the pointlessly created god.
Basically it all boils down to this:
-God does not exist, because if he doesn't and we devoted our lives to him then we would have had pointless lives...
-God exists, because if we did not believe in him and we came to die and go to hell (or whatever belief system you want to discuss) we would be pretty much fucked, but then again god would prove he is a deceptive asshole who clearly does not deserve his leadership role for various reasons, but mainly for not showing up on the job for 2000 years straight... (besides for some sms text messages now and then by an anonymous number to his secretary personnel)
I stick with God does not exist because if he does then he is an asshole who clearly does not deserve me devoting even a single second of my mortal life to his immortal everlasting puppetry peepshow, even if it should mean i go to hell i would be in peace of mind there.
