Default Why are philosophers so curious about god?

I don't really care whether there's a God or not.
I'm more interested in how people work.

Philosophers interest me.
People who try to prove one way or another whether there's a God.

I understand religious people -- I get why people would want, or want not for there to be a god.

I just don't understand why those who are unbiased care.
A lot of philosophers play ring around the rosie with this issue...

Why the fuck do you care*?
What does it matter?
Why do people spend hours discussing proofs, or whether He created...

I don't get the point of theology outside of penitence and piety.
Explain yourselves.




*Partially mocking, but genuinely curious.
Also if a mod has a better title, go ahead and change it.
