Because it demonstrates that your god is so horribly immoral that even were he/she/it/housecat/whatever be demonstrated to exist, then I would be it's moral superior.
I have better morals than the god you claim.
I do not condone slavery.
I do not stone my children to death for disobedience.
My eldest is trans, my youngest is bi.
Your god would have me kill both of them and then call it moral.
Your god sucks serious ass.
I’m not sure where you got all that but....OK. Now you're making claims about my “fictitious” God? Who told you to kill your children? That’s crazy.

How is it a dumb answer?, Please elaborate.
I have no questions. For you atm. All mine in the broad sense have been fully answered by my faith, Is yours leaving you wanting?

I think I made this point earlier. As I’ve learned more about atheists it seems to me most (some) of them don’t just lack belief in God but have a hatred for the non-god they don’t believe in.
And, at the same time lacking any confirmation bias, of course.
Of course everyone suffers from confirmation bias. Your faith weaponizes it, while science tries to ameliorate it with its methodology. That's the difference.
As for Atheists actively hating non-god, that sounds bogus, how would that even work. I know many atheists, and they don't seem particularly angry.
I guess you haven’t been reading many of these posts. One of the users has a profile picture of the flames of hell and a depiction of an angelic being tossing someone in. For people who don’t believe in the Christian God there is a lot of theology being debated.
