Which then begs the question of your presence here on this board. I doubt strongly that you will ever give up your love for your sky-daddy, let alone question his morals and we have no intention of being adopted by your imaginary friend.
So, if you are not going to explain the "god thing", then what exactly is your purpose here? What do you hope to gain? The point of this forum is to enhance understanding, get new ideas, philosophy, information, etc., so that we can continue to make our own educated free thought choices. Unless, perhaps, you think your little comments within your posts (subtle preaching) might have an effect.
If no one was truly interested in what you had to say, you would be on everyone's ignore list and no one would be responding (well, maybe a few that get a kick out of chewing up theists and tossing them around a bit). That does not mean someone will not laugh in your face, but, hey, this is an Atheist forum.

And bees have no fertile offspring until they decide a few are needed to propagate the species.

Say what! Man is an animal. Even if you want to play the 'god thing' and 'soul thing', man is still subject to the genes of the species and this has nothing to do with morality, only survival. For instance, if a species kills itself off, they would not be around.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
