    You say that everything is unnecessary and unworthy of praise which equals saying life has no worth and is meaningless.

    Yet you are still living so you seem to be finding worth and/or meaning in it.

      They didn’t say everything is superfluous, they said God is. You’re conflating “God” with “everything”, but understand that is far from a universal understanding of how the universe works. If you’re not sure how the other person feels about this you need to ask instead of assuming they share the same definitions you do.

        If a god exists, they’re completely superfluous, unnecessary and not worthy of praise.

        He is saying that creating life and the universe isnt’t worthy of praise IF god exists.

        Or am I misunderstanding this sentence?

          Your two neurons seem to not grasp the idea that if a god exists, something must’ve made it so, which means we’re back to the same problem as if no god existing. If such a god exists, they’re no more important than random quantum fluctuations, and infinitely more sadistic.
