You either believe this shit or you don't. Pick a side.
I wrote a specific topic about why I'm here in 2018:

I don't "hang out around people who make fun of my religion"; Atheistforums.org provide solid grounds for me to stay away from people making fun of my faith.
Lets focus on the last line in your post above.
Show anyone here where you were forced to sign up to this website and post here? Nobody said you were forced by law to hang out with people you don't like. So why are you here? Just because you are not face to face with us, you still are "hanging out" with us.
I was bullied as a kid, in my case I had nowhere to go. I had to live in the house my parents provided me. I also had to go outside by myself, to walk to school or to the bus stop. I had got bullied on the bus, and at school, both things I had no choice in.
But you are an adult, and I find it logically absurd that an allegedly "all powerful" being would need the help of any mere mortal to defend it. If your alleged god were real, it should be quite easy for it to squash me like a bug without your help.
Now again, I make the same argument to Christians and Jews too. I find such an alleged being petty if it's biggest concern is being called names, in a world of childhood cancer, childhood famine, natural disasters, and pandemics. If I were an "all powerful" God, the last fucking thing I would worry about is being called names. And if I were all powerful, I damned sure wouldn't need or ask for humans to defend me.
