How do you know that? Why does the universe exist then? Why is it so finely and precisely tuned? Do we have any independent freewill of our own? Is morality purely what we make up as we go along? These are questions that begin to crop up once you start to reject the concept of God the creator and sustainer of all that exists.

In short:
I know your god doesn't exist because he contradicts himself.
Fine tuned argument is backwards.
No.
Yes, evolution has the final word.

The concept of god is not rejected. It is suggested when it isn't needed to explain anything. You internalized it and gave it meaning when it deserves none.

He had the physical and mental limitations of a physical human man as that is what he was. He wasn't say God taking on the form of a human he was fully human like us. He was nonetheless still fully God.

No he didn't have these limitations. A physical human being cannot heal someone by touching them. They cannot walk on water. Unless you're claiming he didn't do these things?

This was somewhat before fast international travel, no cars, trains or planes just for horse power. And no couldn't fly around himself like Superman, well perhaps he could levitate himself a bit that may have been demonstrated when he walked on water. It's still walking speed though he wasn't turbo powered. Teleportation/trans-location he could apparently do but only post resurrection, like when he appeared in a locked room before Thomas for instance. God may be unlimited in power but there may be a limit to the amount of power that can be put through a physical human form.

What I bolded: you contradicted yourself.

Absolutely he did, and also see Jesus's parable of the good Samaritan. Samaritans being a much hated ethnic group for Jews at the time. Jesus did have some degree reluctance to heal non-Jews/pagans as would be typical for a Jewish man of the time but he quickly changed his mind on this, much to the bewilderment of his disciples when he did. So you have both the real humanity of Jesus as a historical man and through him the power of God, and the foundation of our civilization and moral values today.

The bible promotes slavery. The bible gives less rights to women than men. The bible even has god's own chosen people, who he champions in wars and battles. God picks side all the time, and you're a supreme being and you pick sides that's not equality.

Perhaps he does exist but you're just not understanding it?

Perhaps he doesn't exist and you're just imagining it. See, I can make statements too.

We could be both wrong but one of us will at least be far closer to the truth than the other. Though if atheism is wrong it's going to be spectacularly wrong, it's something of an all or nothing gambit. All it takes is for God to exist. It doesn't even have to be the Christian God or anything to do with Jesus but I'd say that's where to put your money on not Mohammed or Joesph Smith.

I really hate it when people pretend there's only a handful of religion on earth. There are plenty. Just because buddhism, hinduism, taoism isn't a big deal in your society, they are the predominant religions in many parts of the world. Is this pascal's wager? You're assuming way too much by even posing the question.

If God exists then no matter how strong your opinion that he doesn't it won't make him suddenly vanish either. What makes you think your opinion is the right one? What basis do you have for this? It's what you think because it's what you like to think?

Correct, it wouldn't make him vanish. But if he doesn't exist however much you believe it won't make him pop into existence.

What makes you think your opinion is the right one? Please answer all those questions you just asked me.

I already said your god doesn't exist because it's too ridiculous a notion and many things in the bible can be disproved.
