[Serious] Why are you an Atheist?

[maxolla]

I have to agree.  If I believed that this God was like many have made him out to be I would have nothing to do with him and would decide not to believe in him.  I would gather all the evidence I could muster to disprove his existence.  I would pile it up so high nothing else could be seen.  I would religiously worship that pile of rubbish faithfully every morning.

For the most part man has constructed god in their image not the other way around.  This construction is made of a being that is unbending, revengeful, and arbitrary.  He has been depicted as a being willing and wanting to torcher those who disagree with him.  However, this is a malconstruction and unsupported in scripture.  Believe he exists or not, at least accept the fact that his character has been maligned from what scripture teaches.

I've read the bible a few times cover to cover. I believe that this fantasy creature is everything that the bible says. 

Maybe you could point out some specific scripture and we can discuss that. Here is an easy to choose from list: https://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/c.../long.html

And how's the assignment going, did you hand it in yet?

Sure. We could start by recognizing that hell does not exist and never has it been depicted in the old or new testament within the original text. Yep, it was a completely made up fiction by 3rd and 4th century Christian leaders through the Vulgate translation. The Vulgate was the first translation from the original Hebrew and Greek in too Latin. Out of this translation we have derived much of the modern translations. Only recently have some modern translations begun to undo some of the misrepresentations of early translations.
