Atheists, tell me, a Roman Catholic: why should I become an atheist?

[pocaracas]

So... you're so desperate to love something, that you'll love an idea. [1]

I don't know about you, but I prefer to love another human being. [2]

1) If the idea is true, then I try to love it for what it is.

And why should anyone live their lives under an unconfirmable assumption?

2) As do I. Loving a person is much more concrete a thing  to love. We claim that the abstract and harder to grasp reality of god's-being became the concrete reality of a human being (i.e. Jesus), so that we could love him the way we naturally prefer. It's hard and not often satisfying to love god purely as the abstract concept of "being" or "goodness" or "truth". It is much easier if "truth" itself becomes a human being whom we may love.

And this brings us to the big problem of JC having been what you think he was.
Doesn't it sometimes feel like the religion is just adding layers of padding to keep you away from reality?
Let's say there was a preacher from Galilee who taught people to be loving, under the protection (more like assumption) of the all-mighty-ruler-father Jewish god, Yahweh, El, An... call it what you will.
How do you take the leap from such a person, to ""truth" itself becomes a human being whom we may love."?
What does it take to deify a person?... if accounts from the time are anything to go by, not much - cue in pharaohs!

Why do you accept as trustworthy the tales of a god becoming human, stemming from a time and place where it was common to make the people believe in the godly nature of some humans?
