Hard for the believer in bleak reason to grasp of course.
​
It's perfectly obvious and very easy to grasp - certainty of believe gives enormous comfort. That's why it was so attractive for so many years.
​
But it's childish and - in your case - obviously and blatently a false belief. Thankfully, these comfortable primitive superstitious beliefs are being replaced by reason so we are able to build fairer and safer societies built on real moral values.

Which is, of course, a tautology.

I think meaningless drivel pretty much covers it.
