A phrase occurred to me during my musings. It might serve as a challenge to the religious. Presumably it won't strike a chord with most religious minds but maybe some, who knows. Give it a try.
"Why is there god instead of nothing?"
Maybe this isn't an original thought

"Why is there god instead of nothing?"
Because....
"Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
Ya gotta have somethin' if ya wanna be with me."
Ok, putting the song aside, I think basically most people can't stand the thought that there isn't something else beyond this life and that we had to come from somewhere 'special'.

This is very similar to a question Dr. William Lane Craig raises in debates with atheists over the existence of God:
"Why does something exist rather than nothing at all?"
You can see some of these debates at his website: www.reasonablefaith.org.
