I'm afraid I don't understand some of your questions, so I'll attempt to answer the ones I do understand.
I don't know what religion YappyMonotheist subscribes to, but I can confidently say they believe in the God of Abraham so I'll provide some supporting citations from the scriptures of the Abrahamic religions.
Believers in God believe that God is the source of all good (James 1:17, Qur’ān 4:79, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh 26:2). Being righteous brings you closer to God (Hebrews 10:22, Qur’ān 41:30, The Hidden Words (from the Persian) 69).
Consider the influence of religion on society, and how fundamental its ethics are to our culture's ethics, even if we're not aware of it.
"Endowed" can mean "created with", as in Article 1 of the UDHR ("They are endowed with reason and conscience..."), and it is used this way here.
God created us because He loves us (Ephesians 1:4-6, Qur’ān 2:29, The Hidden Words (from the Arabic) 3). As a being that transcends physical limitations, space, and time (1 Kings 8:27, Qur’ān 2:255, Prayers and Meditations 69:1), why would He not care about every one of His creations personally?
-Except that the abrahamic god includes the view of jews, who worship a being equally evil and equally good; just to mention one of the millions… I reckon you an American Christian, that kind of protestant? They tend to use this wild innaccuracy -Yaaay, quotes from a book I don’t believe in! Putting aside the its overwhelming amounts of nonsensical inaccuracies; I am fairly certain you too don’t believe in most of this book too! You just pick the parts you like, say 10 commandments and pretend the parts you don’t like doesn’t exist say woman rights -Also, so your god is our moral compass? Why does his code that your sort claim to champion changes wildly century to century? Say rape? Woman rights? Rights of brown people? Homosexuals… Why does your gods stance of these super super basic things change? -I am painfully aware if the negative effects of your religion, that of Christianity, I do not know of any positives -Ah yes, the loving father who requires daily 3 praises for putting their few month(?) old children on adult bodies into the wilderness to survive to avoid eternal punishment, well not for 4000 years when this was only extended to jews! Whoopsie, how many generations do you reckon that be? But today everything is dandy right? …right?
The response I gave was not necessarily for you; it is for anyone who is genuinely interested in answers to the questions you posed. This is a public forum, after all, and God knows I've struggled with some of those questions before. I would be happy to discuss these questions from my Baha'i (not Christian) perspective in a good-faith conversation, but if you are not interested, I will not bother you.
But I responded to your answers? I don’t understand the distinction…
According to Miriam Webster a bad faith argument is:
Which part of my argument do you find bad faith?
