Welcome to the boards; don't let some of these folks get you down. They're not so much atheists as anti-theists, who don't want God to exist because it means they answer to Him.
I'm an anti-theist and an atheist, you can be both. I would love to answer to him, I'm not the one letting evil happen all over the world and doing nothing about it.
I am an anti-theist for one simple reason, the crap peddled by religion of all persuasions affects peoples lives, some claim that this effect is on the whole good, I do not. What you and your fellow delusionists do not seem to get is this. If there were a god and a wonderful afterlife, and if that god was the God of the NT not the rapid, merciless c**t as depicted in OT I would be overjoyed. Unfortunately your evidence is essentially nonsense as it consists of handpicked stories which contradict each other and the known laws of the universe, a traceable history of meetings, debates and edicts leading to the idea of the Trinity, and lastly your own book talks of Jesus as a MAN who sincerely believed that the end of times was about to happen.
It is not a case of not wanting god to exist, instead it is a case of following the evidence where ever it leads, You on the other hand do not want the actual evidence to exist, as it strongly suggests there is, at the very least, no need for a creator. You stubbornly refuse to learn about physics, geology, and biology. You even refuse to delve into the historical reasons why christians today believe what they do,
Now you can believe whatever you want but do it alone, do not force this onto young kids and do not claim you have the answer to how other people should lead their lives or what status their chosen life should have in society.
