Your club says things I can't co-sign, therefore I'm not interested in being in your club. This can't be hard to understand.
You do need a stronger case when you call someone whose even sleep position is imitated by millions of people, a child molester. But you didn't go further than simple name calling when asked about a justification.

How is calling someone evil and walking away objective? Define evil within your moral system. That's a very difficult challenge already, I think.

Why should I believe a god exists? What are the reasons that should persuade me, or any other rational adult?
I think what we know so far about the universe being tuned for us, makes anyone who claims we came here by chance absolutey dishonest. If I remember correctly, you already seem to agree that something can't come from nothing. Since we are mortal beings, and there has to be always something, doesn't that warrant then an eternal cause, at least, whose properties can be inferred from its effects?

Prometheus formed humans from clay and gave them the gift of fire stolen from the gods. Zeus had him tortured horrifically for the latter. Dike, daughter of Athena, was the personification of justice, the spirit of moral order, and fair judgment. Presumably she doesn't fault us for not worshiping her as long as we don't better, after all, that would be unjust.
I see you're cherrypicking what you answer to. Anyway, your Prometheus story doesn't solve the problem, I really don't think there was a Greek messenger preaching Prometheus' message wholeheartedly, like Muhammad did, for example. If the Greek Gods didn't send anyone, nor left a revelation, nor performed miracles witnessed by crowds of people, then they are fictitious, and the Greeks were wrong.
Greek gods aside, did Muhammad exist historically according to you? And did he willingly fake his prophecy, or was he convinced by some epileptic disease that he sees angels and stuff ?

Your god is nothing special or unique. You've not provided anything that in any way would make me think different.
How is "special or unique" even relevant? This is actually the problem with any atheist or skeptic, they stopped being impressed or wondered, every thought about God becomes ordinary, therefore false, in their eyes.
