this aint everybodys objection, but one reason why some people are atheists is because they enjoy doing the things they enjoy doing, and find God an affront to pleasure, a killjoy. for these people, attaching a faith attaches some kind of leech that drains the life out of.. life! even if it means being right orrr holy or some other sought-after virtue, it doesnt seem worth the exchange.
one of the reasons why i am a christian is because it constantly makes me aware that what god finds enjoyable goes far and beyond any of my attempts to be settled and happy in this world - his treasures run deeper than my worldly treasure. he actually ups the ante! my interests arent interesting enough to continue happily pursuing for the rest of my life - even if it was the only life i am warrant to have! so i concede this fact, knowing that he's got something better in store. even in this present time, something better.
