You're either a troll, or quite ignorant. The ONLY thing atheism is, is the non belief in a deity. Aside from that, atheists run the gamut between a generous, law abiding citizen, and a dictator that doesn't worship any gods.
To be able of having non-belief in a deity, there must be one, right?
Can you have non-belief in a deity if the deity does not exist? I find it kind of weird going around claiming not to believe in something which does not exist.
The point of atheists seems to be of a contradicting belief. You are the strangers upon this earth. God created this earth and your butt. Everything on earth is created by God and is His. It's not my problem if he kills you just because you don't behave. If you ever cared about your life anyway.
Daniel 9;9 The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him;
I suppose all deities are real, then? Zeus, Odin, Osiris, their pantheons, and so forth and so on? Vampires, unicorns, elves, dwarves, centaurs, dragons? Because I don't believe they exist either.
Honestly how can you say not believing something exists means it must exist? Those are some nice claims that the bible makes. Now bring us proof, and we can begin worshiping. Also it would be great if you could bring proof that all the other gods aren't as powerful as yours.
Your god isn't the only god people have worshiped. he's not even the first one. He started out as the lesser war god of a canaanite/babylonian pantheon, graduated to a monotheistic religion about 3,000 years ago, had two offshoot religions, and people are still debating on his existence, or what the one true path is.
You guys don't seem to be closer to knowing exactly what your god wants than you did thousands of years ago.
