As to the whole "if God is loving why is there evil in the world," I can only say that I don't understand it either. God works in mysterious ways sounds like a very lame argument, but it is true. As a man with very limited understanding of the entire picture of the Universe, I have no way of fathoming how God works or the thought processes he goes through. The evil in the world could be a testing of faith, it could be the Devil's interventions- there are a few explanations I can think of, but again, he's God and I'm human. I can't understand his thought processes.
You seem to have a reading comprehension problem.
Almost every one that replied to you stated we are not claiming that a god does not exist.
The atheist position is that, because there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that a god exists, there is no justification to believe one does.
A god may exist, but if so, it has succeeded in remaining hidden, and therefore is indistinguishable from a god that is nonexistent.
If you can't understand how god works, how do you make any statements about his attributes?
Here's a question for you; how do you know that 'God' is the good one?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
