I don't believe in the Abrahamic God for the same reason I don't believe in mythological gods. I don't need personally convincing reasons for why Zeus and Thor and Ra are a load of nonsense and I don't for the Abrahamic God either.
It's kind of hilarious really, when you open Genesis and see a talking snake and a load of nonsensical ramblings and contradictions, how you see the stories in the Bible are just as silly as the mythological stories... and then you look at the date and see it's the 4th of July 2016 and people still believe this ridiculous shit and not only that, the majority of the world believe silly shit that makes no more sense than mythology.
It just goes to show how fucking powerful indoctrination is
If someone weren't indoctrinated they certainly wouldn't start believing in mythological gods... and if they weren't indoctrinated and they become religious anyway it's surely because they mistakenly think that religions have some merit merely because so many people believe it.
Huge amounts of people in the world believe because they are indoctrinated, and then those who don't believe due to indoctrination believe because they mistakenly give credit to religion, credit it only receives because so many people around the world are indoctrinated by it and make up bullshit arguments and reasons and anecdotes to support this shit.
If the dominant religion was a mythological one such as belief in Zeus.... there would be silly arguments and websites and fallacies and anecdotes given to support Zeus. There would be huge amounts of credit given to belief in Zeus and there would be money given to Churches of Zeus. The vast majority of the people who believed in the dominant religion of Zeusism would believe because they had been indoctrinated and the rest would believe because they would mistakenly give credit to the religion of Zeusism, credit Zeusism would only receive because so many people around the world were indoctrinated by Zeusism and make up bullshit arguments reasons and anecdotes to support the shit
TL;DR: Regardless of how silly a belief is... almost always people believe ridiculous things due to indoctrination.... when it isn't due to that it is because the silly belief is so popular around the world due to indoctrination and some people think that the huge amount of believers counts as evidence. It doesn't. It counts as evidence of millions of people being indoctrinated by bullshit.
