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

[robvalue]

I find it ridiculous that I could love something that is holding my future hostage, pending my obedience of its arbitrary rules. That's Stockholm Syndrome; this has come up a lot. I don't think that would happen to me even with an evident jailor, so it's certainly not happening with an ethereal one that I only find out about second hand. He can fuck off. I don't care whether it's Hell, or nothingness, or whatever. It's clearly a less favorable afterlife for me if I don't do what I'm told. That's blackmail, and I don't love people who try to blackmail me. I tell them to take a hike.

And no, it's not the same as when human X does this and that to human Y. I am so sick of God/human analogies. They are completely flawed because humans lack power, resources and foresight.

God is welcome to come explain all this crap to me, and why he isn't actually a dick. But he doesn't seem interested.
