TD I am with you on your assertion that god or gods do not exist and that they are a creation of man, I also agree that the bible is man made and that it too is not god inspired. I consider myself to be a strong atheist and assert that when it comes to discussions of god and proving his existence that the onus of proof is the responsibility of the persons making the assertion. I don't have to prove that god does not exist because I am not the one making a positive claim in his favor. Having studied the history of religion and even delved into some comparative religious studies I am 100 percent sure to my own satisfaction that god is a fabrication of the fertile imagination of man.
When it comes to the existence of god my most hated field of study is philosophy, particularly apologetics. Delving deep into the possibility of the existence of god basing yourself on his so called attributes, his realm of existence, etc. etc. is in my opinion an exercise in futility. Before you can prove anything else you must prove that he exists. The concept of god is just that, an idea and nothing more. Add some mental devotion, some emotion, and some self debasement and you have yourself a good Christian.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
