That's why atheists spend half their time posting attacks and insults, often obscene, directed at God or Jesus. If they were open to the possibility that God exists, they wouldn't commit the unforgivable sin of blasphemy.
Open to the possibility does not equal belief. If I am shown evidence for a God, I could become a theist. I haven't been shown evidence as of yet, therefore I do not believe - I am an atheist. Why would I follow rules of something I don't believe exists?
In that case, should I also follow Islamic and Hindu doctrine, because after all, it's just as plausible as a Christian version?
Should I then follow every single rule by every religion (both major and minor), as well as anything anyone else might think of, because there's a POSSIBILITY of it being true?
