It's fascinating and depressing to theists constantly pull the "You do actually believe in god, but are lying about it because you're angry at him for demanding you cease living your sinful lifestyle. So you hate him because you want to sin" BS.
Theists, it's simple: I believe in your god (regardless of whatever Baskin-Robbins flavor it is) as much as I believe in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause, or Republicans giving a shit about the middle class.
Furthermore, I do not belong to a religion. There's no rituals I must participate in, any texts from which I must recite, no hierarchy that I slot into, no leader whose rhetoric I must follow, no holy days I must recognize... none of that.
Your inability to understand that stems from your inability to think without being chained to dogma. Your book, written by ancient goat fuckers, is wrong. And arguments for its historicity are like arguments claiming that Jason Bourne is real because shady government agencies are real, Eastern European countries are real, etc. References to real people and places doesn't lend fiction that reality.
