[Serious] Why are you an Atheist?

[Simon Moon]

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.


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.

I am quite familiar with the OT and the NT. I've read them both several times.

I am also quit familiar with the OT concept of sheol.

Are you saying, that if I die as a non-believer, and you die as a believer, we will both end up in sheol? Our afterlifes will be the same?
