I know a lot of you are hurt etc from your personal testimonies so this is not speculation.

I know you are hurt. Being blind and mislead by religion. I hope you recover some day. Delusion can be hard to shake off when you're neck deep in it.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

I'm not hurting. My life is extremely to my liking, as a matter of fact. There is no god. There is no need for one.

Keep it up; might as well get it all out of your system. There's only so long you'll be allowed to do this.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You sound like a new christian, caught up in the newness of it. Which is why i ask...

Perhaps in a few years when the newness rubs off, you'll start asking questions.

Neck deep and head first.
