Without it, all you can say is "I don't believe there is a God, and if there was he'd be a prick." No backing whatsoever for the second claim. Unless you're assuming that if there were a God the Bible would be his book.
I would love an existence where everyone would consider your god and and his book mythology. You of course could believe whatever you wanted and get together on Sundays in well air-conditioned warehouses with bench seating to make snarking comments about other peoples' fashions until you passed out. This wouldn't bother me in the least.
My problem is that you then want to tell the rest of humanity how to get along in accordance with not only your god's rules, but the rules made up by self-important money grubbing ass-hats in the name of your god. This is the reason that I must endeavor to understand what you mean by god and what it says in your stupid book.
If you kept this shit to yourself, it wouldn't be an issue.
