[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.

So much wrong with this paragraph, hard to know where to start...

Again, belief is not a decision, it is the result of being convinced. I did not make a decision not to believe in gods. I was compelled by the lack of sufficient evidence and reasoned argument, to disbelieve a god exists.

So, where should I go to get an accurate description of your god's behavior and actions, so I am able to get a correct depiction of him/her/it/they? All I see in the Old Testament, New Testament, is a god that: condones slavery, genocide, misogyny, homophobia, stoning unruly children to death, killing non-believers, killing 'witches', and more attrocities.

It is not up to those of us that disbelieve gods exist, to 'gather up evidence' to disprove the existence of your god, whether we dislike said god's actions or not. Whether I believe or disbelieve a god exists, is completely separate from whether he acts morally or not.

I could be convinced a god exists, given demonstrable evidence and reasoned argument to support the claim, and still no worship said god. If the Christian god was demonstrated to exist, that doesn't mean I'd become a Christian.

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.

So, as an atheist, if I were to die right now, what would my resultant afterlife look like?

In old testament scripture there was a belief in the dead going to sheol. She'ol is translated as "place of darkness" and has been translated to english as “grave”. The Vulgate translation took that word and started another idea called “hell” in its place. As for the grave I don’t know much, I haven’t been. Pretty sure it’s not overly hot.
