If you actually wanted to be ignorant then you could become a Young Earth Creationist. I don't think atheism would be for you, I thought it was for people who wanted to not be ignorant.
That is not the point I was making. You said something about benefits of knowing the existence of god. The benefits and negatives are what I am talking about. Your argument reeked of an appeal to Pascal's wager

You can explain why I haven't done so than just give me your own opinion. A five word sentence expressing your own opinion does not a counter argument make.
You have not demonstrated the likely hood of a god existing, all you have done is argue over interpretations of the bible

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
