Question 1: Why do you not believe in a God
Question 2: Why do you choose to deny the existence of a God
I'll start off with that, thank you, I look forward to an interesting conversation
"Why do you not believe in a God?"
Because none exist or have ever been shown to exist or no definition of any god has ever been shown to be a valid premise or isn't simply changing the definition of something else to mean god (like saying god is love or god is the universe. I'll just stick with love and the universe).
"Why do you choose to deny the existence of a God?"
I'll assume you mean the christian god specifically (but the answer wouldn't change regardless). I "choose" to deny its existence for the same reason I choose to deny the existence of bigfoot, santa, thor, spiderman, aquaman, alien visitations to earth, the loch ness monster, cupucabra, zeus, etc. The reason is the same as in number 1...that is because you didn't ask 2 questions, you just asked 1.
