It might help if John would look up the definition of ‘relationship’.

No relationship. Nope. The god of the Bible is fictitious. You could assess his actions within the biblical narrative but it's about as productive looking for the motivations for Little Bo-Peep.

I was using an example of something that we can all agree exists (I hope) to highlight how not having any entails not being in a relationship. I could have had him in a relationship with his hand, but then I'd have needed to employ amputation to properly get the point across and I viewed that as unkind.
I find the God of the Bible to be a reprehensible character, but that assessment is neither the cause nor the source of my atheism. If he was all sweetness and light, goodness and mercy, I still wouldn’t believe.

A person treated badly by christians is more likely to not believe God exists, and a person treated well is more likely to believe he does. ..and yet here you are, treating people poorly. This is why atheists don't have to go door to door. We have the likes of you out there shitting on christian beliefs for us.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You might not think it is, but the attitude definitely influenced your position. Surely, you at least don't deny the correlation? It's not a coincidence why every atheist in the past few pages doubled down on God being reprehensible, when you know not a single Christian would ever agree with that assessment.

I found god to be absent. Apparently, he thought that the abuse I endured at the hands of my parents was okay. I prayed with all the faith a child could muster in the hope that god would intervene. Two reasons that he didn't came to mind...either as a little kid I deserved what was happening or I was praying to the sky and no one was there to listen or offer help. If I were to go into some of the stories I would find some of them reprehensible. But that isn't what caused my lack of faith.
I'm your huckleberry.
Christians aren't particularly notable for their good moral sense.
