While the majority of your post is the usual apologetic trash, I liked this one. It was window into your mind. Hmn, why would god save his people from slavery. Perhaps because he's their tribal god, because they are a people with "god on their side". Not like the rest of those hopelessly lost bastards out there. Ethnocentrism written onto the fabric of the cosmos. Why did god save those people from slavery instead of all people? Perhaps because they wrote the story, and that's what it is, as the narrative you're referencing is a fictional one.
You're doing cartwheels now trying to define what atheism is, or what atheists "believe" so that you'll have something to say about atheism. You're doing this because you actually have nothing to say, and the situation is identical with regards to god. You have no idea what you're talking about. You have a need to feel special, superior. You know science, you know scriptures, you know all about atheism. If only you hadn't given me every reason to "believe" the opposite. There you go, now you can rant and rave about something I actually believe, rather than inventing beliefs for me.
