You don't need to fear God

haha alternate, you took me to my youth. I remember this little boy who used to run up to me asking for a candy.
I used to give him a candy and he would sing twinkle twinkle little star for me. But while singing, he would wet
his pants and run home crying. You remind me of that little boy.

1) The last time i checked, my passport still says i am a hindu. But in bracket it is written "without ostrich
   mentality". My hindu upbringing made me an honest person so yes, i will support Christianity when the
   context arises.

2) I have used the term argumentum ad populum before in other thread. The alternative term is Appeal to numbers.
   As you admit of not having heard of it before, you need to update yourself. These terms are considered
   elementary in debate vocabulary. Just because something is growing (in this case Atheism), it doesnt make it
   right or proper.

3) Nobody believes in a celestial teapot. If you do then, good luck finding it. That analogy is a stupid attempt
   by an Atheist to discredit theists, just like when they ask Who made god, when the fact remains, noone believes
   in a created god. It is like asking a happy person why he is sad.

4) Atheism cannot account for objective morality as Science cannot guide morality. There is no set of morality
   inherent in nature. Without God as a source, morality would be flexible. Even Nazis could find killing the jews
   moral. Morality that is shaped by culture and traditions will not always be good for everyone. So we do need a
   source for morality. This is a Theist perspective and i do support it.

5) I have looked at every theory on the table. A theory is not a fact and that is why they call it a theory. Even the
   big bang is but a theory. Using the cake analogy, my attempt is to understand who made the cake, not what are its
   ingredients. If you tell me the cake was a result of an unconsciouss, random, blind and automatic process, i had
   rather believe in God.

6) Now where did that you can't have your cake and eat it too come from?. God represents the unknown, so the
   question of his omnipotence/omniscience is moot. What i am saying it that it is not necessary for creation.
   The only time i had my cake and ate it too was on my birthday.

7) You used ad hominem because you called me a liar. The last time i checked, calling someone a liar is making an
   attack on his character.
