It might be interesting to hear what you believe is your 'evidence'.
God died in Auschwitz, brewer, or haven't you heard?

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I don't live for atheism. For me, it's merely a state of being.

I only joined the club for the tax exemptions and the baby recipes.

Atheism is just an absence of conviction that God(s) exist.
Do people who don't believe in Santa or the mothman have something worth living for? It's a bizarre question.

Um no.
Any position with respect to anything is entirely personal.
Do you have others living inside your brain ?
You seem entirely mentally unhinged.
Obviously you seriously need help.
Go get it. Your mental health is your responsibility.

I'm not an atheist, as I believe in God. I don't search for an ultimate purpose in life, but just try to live each day as I should. I don't think that life ends when the body does, so I don't feel the need to experience the most things I can before this body dies. I think there is an ultimate purpose for my existence and if I do God's will I will achieve it. How do I know God's will? I leave myself open to his guidance.

God tells you to be a bigot.
Well, I suppose you score points for the afterlife there.
Seems to me god would prefer you be a GOOD example to those heathen non-believers.
But, you do you. We learn a lot from Christians like you...just not the things you think we learn.

It's typical that when you run out of arguments, you turn to name-calling.

Of course! Plus, I doubt every person in the world, as in people who don't believe in God, go to Heaven. I feel Heaven is actually a place for those who believe in God and and have been living in a "simulation" where they think Heaven is fine and a reflection of the life they were living when they were alive; a boring and flawed way of living and perception of what is Heaven, that is. I bet everyone else goes to Hell, if it were to exist,t that is, which it does not; because they are not in accord with or fit in with a mindset and way of thinking only certain people share and try to spread. Those religious people who believe they are going to Heaven are trying to take advantage of those who don't know better by manipulating them to join their religion, by the way. In other words, religion, as well as Heaven, is more strict, far more strict than free, and is a hindrance to style, life, knowledge, etc. that is an excuse for people to do bad things to others that are not the same as them and Heaven is just for those people only who practice religion and meet the requirements or live the simulation they believe is real to go to Heaven. Everyone else actually goes to Hell, because they are not fitting to go to God's Heaven or are not believing in them, despite what people may say about everyone goes to Heaven. Religion and Heaven is not that open-mind.
It seems to me that religious people hide truths about what Heaven is and try to get people to join them while hiding who religion is really for.
Also, about the part of God telling a person to be a bigot, if that is what people think God would do, then God is a horrible being, even though he is just a psychological need of people.
Sorry for the rant, I just wanted to comment on what you said.
But yeah, how does one find atheism to be worth living for, anyway?
