You get your head checked.

On a more serious note, I don't expect any self-proclaimed atheists to find it compelling. Atheism is fundamentally an emotional position, not a rational position. You might have no rational criticism of any of the arguments, or even understand them.

But you just don't FEEL good about believing in the existence of God. 

So I'm not surprised. If you really want to figure out what's next, it would be to lay your feelings aside, think like a rational person, and figure out if there are problems with the argument.

And it would also help to get over your irrational feelings. But that's a long shot.

And that process of rational thought, Rhythm, will undoubtedly lead you at last to a belief -- not in a deistic god -- but in a magical Jew (oh, sorry, Son of God) who rose from the dead and loves you very much -- but might have to punish you horribly if you don't believe in him -- because some people made some claims a long time ago.  You see, it's in a book.

You know . . . reason.
