Hi Wiggy!
If you've debated many atheists, you probably already have some idea how many of us think. So I find it surprising you missed the fact that atheists don't find the Bible a very reliable document. Use exhortations from it, and we roll our eyes.
If you want to know why I in particular don't believe in a god or gods generally, it's because there is no evidence of them. If you want to know why I don't believe in the Christian god, the answer is the same, plus that the god described by the Christians is repulsive, contradictory, and arbitrary. The sacrifice of Jesus story in morally insane. Not to mention that the stories in his holy book are a mass of contradictions both internally and historically. I'm sorry if that's insulting, but it happens to be the answer you were looking for.
I'd like to see what you have for scientific proof of a soul. That ought to be amusing.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
