What care I or anyone else whether a particular viewpoint “advances or hinders an argument” toward anything at all, unless we’re in a class or working group on rhetoric, logic, public relations or the like. (You’re not God’s advance man, are you? Its PR agent?)
Since this is not such a class or working group, then go ahead and make your argument – for god or gods or against it or them; I don’t care – and perhaps someone else’s argument against yours will help you to discover and buttress the weak points, or will prove your argument either untenable or unassailable. (Don’t hold your breath waiting.)
For my part, the only thing that’s more of a waste of time than arguing about the existence of gods is building little shrines to them and holding our heads and hands in certain attitudes as we sing particular songs on special days while wearing special clothes… or parading in the certain knowledge that they don’t exist and those who say otherwise are oppressors, etc.
Prayer, on the other hand, might actually be useful, whether a god hears it or not, since it at least focuses your attention and intent on the thing that you desire. So maybe you should pray for an answer to this question. Either way, “advancing” or “discrediting” a logical argument doesn’t make the thing true or false. (That’s an attempt to be helpful, by the way.)
