It is like a man living in the dessert. The biggest water body he has seen, is an oasis, and that, he belives, must be the biggest of all. Try telling him that there exists an ocean, with salty water and no boundaries, and he'll laugh at you. That is human mentality.
We believe only what we see/ experience. Therefore it is far too much to expect people who have not experienced god, to believe/ understand god, and to believe that there are others who can interact with god

Because people's personal experiences don't count as evidence. If you ask a Muslim they'd swear to you that they absolutely know the only "true and living God" -- and they'll tell you he's Allah. Ask other members of other religions and they'll tell you they're absolutely, 100% sure that they know THEIR god/gods, and know things that totally go against your religion. And if you answer "Well, those people are just being deceived!" -- well, THEY think that YOU are decieved. So how is a nonreligious person like me supposed to sort out all of these conflicting accounts? They can't all be right. Somewhere out there, someone's senses are lying to them.

If you know god, have him give me a call (he presumably knows my number).
What you really mean is you feel that there is a god. I feel that there isn't. I also feel that if not you, at least a number of your fellow cultists want to restrict me because of my beliefs or their beliefs. That's when we have a problem.
You will notice that there are very few arguments about Taoism here. That's because nobody is suggesting making Taoism the law of the land. Nobody is saying that members of Congress need to place their hand on the Tao Te Ching when they are sworn in. Nobody is saying that anyone who doesn't believe in Laozi is going to burn for eternity. Whether that's because Taoists are better than Christians when it comes to tolerance, I'll leave it to you to decide.

So why do you assume there is a god?, you can't even live eternally to know god. I don't assume, it was the right choice

You make no sense whatsoever.
I'd be more likely to believe in God if there were fewer believers rambling incoherently and throwing around childish insults using poor grammar and spelling.
A word of advice: you're simply not smart or well-informed enough to be a spokesperson for your religion. If you want to do some good, sit back and be quiet. There are people here who represent belief in God in an adult way, and you're drowning them out.

When you prove there is a deity, you'll be on a good start. Then you'll need to prove which deity it is. That's gonna be a bit harder.
But please, feel free to make the attempt.
You were somewhat more tolerable though when you were asking personal questions though.

Crowley proved it already who needs science to do it again you Christains have just been to ignorant to accept the true nature of his teachings and labelled him the anti-chriost instead
Duty to Self: essentially describes the self as the center of the universe, with a call to learn about one's inner nature. Further, every Thelemite is to develop every faculty in a balanced way, establish one's autonomy, and to learn and do one's True Will.
Duty to Others: A Thelemite is called to eliminate the illusion of separateness between oneself and all others, to fight when necessary, to avoid interfering with the Wills of others, to enlighten others when needed, and to recognize the divine nature of all other beings. Further, it is noble to relieve the suffering of others, but pity (seen as condescending) should be avoided.
Duty to Mankind: Thelemites should try to establish the Law of Thelema as the sole basis of conduct. Further, the laws of the land should have the aim of securing the greatest liberty for all individuals. Crime is viewed from the point of view of violating one's True Will ("Thus, murder restricts his right to live; robbery, his right to enjoy the fruits of his labour; coining, his right to the guarantee of the state that he shall barter in security; etc.").
Duty to All Other Beings and Things: Quite simply: "It is a violation of the Law of Thelema to abuse the natural qualities of any animal or object by diverting it from its proper function" and "The Law of Thelema is to be applied unflinchingly to decide every question of conduct."
I have taken the liberty of posting some of the main precepts of Thelema thanks to wikipedia

God exists and we all know it, its just some people have trouble
reconciling it in their minds until it comes to them someday. Patience is definitely the best virtue
