I agree, there are quite a few, though obviously I cannot get into all of them here. For one, the notion of free will being existent in any sense, in that people are able to restrain their biological impulses, implies that there is something of a higher morality that exists, that is extremely difficult if not downright impossible to see scientifically, and as such there must be something else behind it, or God-given free will. Some will combat this with the doctrine of determinism, or that your circumstances are entirely to blame for who you are, but not only does this create a very toxic mindset, it denies that there are choices we are able to make in our lives. We are able to choose good or evil, whether they have consequences or not, as well as more neutral things that don't have an inlying moral association. There's also an argument to be made from the perspective of causality: every single reaction has an action that it stems from, and every effect has a cause. Where this can be applied is that the probability of an object spontaneously moving of its own accord is next to nothing; for all intents and purposes possible, it must be propelled, for example stones don't just move of their own accord, they must be thrown, rolled, pushed, etc. If you are to accept the notion of the universe having a beginning, something which can be seen through the idea of causality's overwhelming probability and application, then there must have been something to cause creation, a creator. You can utilize an understanding of the Big Bang Theory here, but that isn't mandatory. There is also an argument (that is admittedly more tangential, but still relevant) to be made from grounds of such books and records like Rafaello Martinelli's book The Eucharistic Miracles of the World: Catalogue of the Vatican International Exhibition or historical records of events such as the Miracle of Lanciano, Juan Diego's cloak's display of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Shroud of Turin (the church does not mandate that people believe this was the burial cloth used for Christ, but considering its unexplainable properties when taken pictures of on film cameras, there's a valid argument for it to have strong religious significance), as well as many other miracles that happen in lives every day and that have happened historically, though to various degrees. In short, the way that the world has come to be, the way that people are capable of resisting their base biological impulses as an opposition to pure determinism (a line of thought which has its own problems), as well as many real-life examples of miracles with no possible explanation to our understanding show some considerable arguments for the existence of God.

I disagree, it’s rude.
You shouldn’t forgo etiquette and politeness because you find it bothersome or inconvenient. It isn’t supposed to be convenient.

Disagree. What the fuck is the purpose of etiquette in the first place? Just to score social brownie points by other people playing the same game? What's that supposed to achieve? Pointless rules are pointless. As for the part about politeness- if you find basic politness bothersome, that's on you, pal
