Why would he make me this way, why make me so I cannot believe?
And if the purpose of life is to get into heaven, but the price of entry is absolute fealty that I cannot give - Why not just make us all believers?
What divine purpose does it serve? I've heard he works in mysterious ways but it just seems a bit retarded to make something imperfectly and then punish it for its imperfection
What makes you think God made you anything other than a human? You are responsible for what you become.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

God made this world full of evils and horrors, and it's my fault if I can't cope with it? He gives me every reason in the world to doubt his existence and it's my fault I don't believe in him? He expects me to be psychic but didn't give me the powers?
God strikes me as the sort of sexually-repressed terrorist who makes bombs to kill children for the joy it affords him (which he must be doing, by the thousands, every minute of every day), not the sort of guy with the breadth of mind or the imagination to create universes. In a universe with a God, we're supposed to be happy that we're sharecroppers because it's not outright slavery.
That's according to your version of God, though. If we have to imagine such a being, maybe he's just not perfect. And maybe he made atheists as a bug fix.
