all of that is impractical, anon. i'll give you some food for thought, though, because it's easier to just ask the questions you probably can't answer rather than explain things more thoroughly:

>if the universe requires a creator, then what created the creator? and if something created that creator, what created the thing that created the creator? and so on.
>if the creator "always existed" and "didn't need to be created", then why can't you just use occam's razor and apply the same to the universe itself? skip the extra steps.
>who says the universe needs to have "started", or furthermore that "something" needed to do the starting? Buddhists believe that the universe is cyclic. why couldn't it potentially be a circle, no end and no beginning, starting ending and being reborn over and over infinitely?
>ultimately the problem comes down to 3 things in religion: the existence of an omnipotent creator, the existence of an immortal "soul" or otherwise part of us that continues on after death/"afterlife", and whether or not there is any sort of judgment and reward/punishment based on your actions in this life. none of these things are necessarily all true or false. what if you had a God who created everything, but otherwise there's no "soul" and no afterlife or judgment, he just doesn't give a fuck about us even though he made everything? What if God doesn't exist, but we have a "soul" of sorts, and reincarnation is true, sort of like the Buddhists believe? what if God is just a dick and sends everyone to hell after they die because he feels like it? or the flip-side, what if there is only heaven, and even the worst people go to heaven, even George Soros, and it still has no bearing on what you did or didn't do in life? any combination of these and more could be true if you think about it.

there's more but this should be a good start of things for you to ponder.
