Yes I pick on all religions.

Yes you have a reason, a bias reason you are unwilling to question. There is a HUGE difference between testing and falsification to insure quality of data, and looking for excuses to believe something. You are looking for excuses not evidence.

I am dedicated to questioning what I think and what I believe. I constantly test it. You on the other hand, state openly above that your mind is closed on the subject. I don't see how that can be clearer. I go out of my way to uncover any bias I might have. Furthermore, the bible emplores me to do this.

Let's look at the testing you've done... You quote scripture literally (from an English translation) that leads you to a blaring misconception of allegory. You present this straw man as a reason to dismiss said allegory. You commit a blatant logical fallacy. So your own method is very clearly and demonstrably flawed. You've failed before you got to the starting gate. Don't talk to me about testing and falsification when you obviously don't apply the rule to yourself.

You might be able to make a ghost of a point there if atheism had any creed or tenets or doctrine or rules. There is nothing about 'I don't believe in God' that leads to any action at all besides not believing in God.

Moot point.

There is nothing about "I believe in god" that leads to any action at all besides believing in god.

ie you can't claim that point about atheists without equally applying it to theists.

"Test it" how exactly? Please do show everyone here your empirical universal methodology.

Let me go get my popcorn bucket first.
