My thesis is that people who claim to believe in god do not really do so. They just wish to believe in god. They somehow feel that their lives are meaningless without god, so they choose to close their eyes to evidence against the existence of god. The christian view is well expressed by Cardinal Ratzinger:
"Religious liberty can not justify freedom for divergence. This freedom does not aim at any freedom relative truth, but concerns the free descicion for a person to, according to his moral inclinations accept the truth." (The times, June 27 1990, p9) [Translated to Swedish in the Swedish version of (Baigenth, Leigh, 1991) and then translated back to english by me]
also one persons in my last question said I have Anger issues to be dealt with, which is not the case at all, it is just a blind assumption. Most of the people trying to debunk my Reasons why I do not believe in god have failed to revert any of my reasonings so far.

I do not believe you have anger issues like you people have claimed. I think in fact you are very educated individual who is looking in the wrong place for answers to a very big question.
The underlying question here I believe is "does God exist?"
Well to answer the bottom first, that people have failed to revert any of your reasonings as to God Existing. It is not you who is seeking God. I could be incorrect in this assumption, but you did say that you were doing a "Thesis".
God does exist. I cannot prove it too you, I cannot show you anything in the scientific realm that can absolute prove his existance that a science try to disprove. But, in science there were things they couldnt prove even ten years ago that they can prove now.
How do I know that God exists and is not a "way to bring meaning to my meaningless life"? I know he exists because I have seen His love in my life "Personally". I do think that there are some people who WISH to believe in God, and I also know that there are people who Know God. (not know of him but actually know Him.)
I realize this has not helped you. Nothing will. You do not seek this for personal insite and nothing relating to God can be proven by any thesis no matter how smart you are.

"My thesis is that people who claim to believe in god do not really do so. They just wish to believe in god."
Trained psychologist/mind reader, are you?
"They somehow feel that their lives are meaningless without god...."
And maybe we're right.
"they choose to close their eyes to evidence against the existence of god."
Or maybe we've examined it and found it wanting.
"failed to revert..."
The word is "refute".

Ill believe in God till I die, regardless of your babbling about how we "wish" to believe in God. I refuse to listen to any of the Godless men trying to tell me whats real and whats not. Trust me, I don't need anyone to tell me if God exists or not, Im gonna believe in Him whether you or anyone else with your beliefs like it or not.
