No.
The bible (or any other 'holy' scripture) had nothing to do with my disbelief. It was only ammo.
"Love me or burn forever." That just is not 'god-like'. Every attempt at a description of god is basically a description of a man.
Attempts by myself over the years to come up with a reasonable description of a god have failed miserably.
(the only time I even came close, the god blew its brains out.)
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
