"Tape a bag of porridge to your face, suffocate yourself, and rid humanity of your poisonous and perverted 'understanding' of the endeavour we are currently taking to comprehend the cosmos for all I care:" - Welsh Cake, using classic atheist argumentation

Haha, you were waiting to launch a strawman didn't you? You are equating welsh cake's opinion to mine and all the other atheists. Good for you, but you seriously lack reading comprehension. I'm not as harsh as Welsh cake, but what I do wish is that you with those idiot beliefs, dishonesty and downright lies, dont procreate. Not because of you, but because of the poor children that would have you as a father.

I'm still waiting for your proof that your sky-daddy exists, that classic diversion maneuvre won't get you anywhere.

You approved of his post, therefore you approve of the content of the post. I am not applying this to all atheists, I am applying it to you:

"Kudos given by (1): LastPoet"

Now, not only have you unapologetically approved of someone advising me to kill myself, on top of that you also try to heap more insult upon me by also saying I shouldn't have children. I think that this indicates whom, between the two of us, is less qualified to be a parent.

Well that is complete bullshit for a start. Not all atheists think that way - I'm as hardcore atheist as they come and I ague that atheism isn't the default position but nothingness is. Only when you add theism, does atheism become anything at all.

So you're a nihilist?

If you like. Call me what you like. It makes no difference. The only constant, no matter which name you try and label me with, is that I don't believe in god.

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
