Close Chad.
They are atheists because they look to themselves to find reason and logic in order to discover what is true.

Question 1: Why do you not believe in a God
Question 2: Why do you choose to deny the existence of a God
I'll start off with that, thank you, I look forward to an interesting conversation
Those two questions appear to be the exact same thing stated twice. However, the second implies that atheists do actually believe in a god (stop capitalizing the 'g' if you have 'a' in front please), but they merely pretend not to. Which, if that's what you're saying, you're an ignoramus prick who is so stupidly arrogant and wrong as to make me laugh. To not believe in the existence of a god does not mean it is a fact that there is a god. That's stupidly incoherent.
Now, to answer:
I don't think a god exists because I see no sound and convincing evidence supporting that any do. All attempts at bolstering theism that I'm aware of are flawed post hoc rationalizations, and oftentimes even if they are true they don't establish what they are purported to.
You may not believe in God, but by denying God or accepting that there is no God you have already acknowledged the fact that there is a God. You can not think of something and choose to deny it, your brain will not let you do that. And the Bible is evidence that there is a God everything within the Bible has been proven to have some sort of backing, for example the Bible is historically accurate with its writings. I would like to have a scholarly talk with you so I would appreciate no use in profanity. If that's all your mind can choose to comprehend then I'm afraid that your answers are inconclusive.

So by your "reasoning", if you deny my buddy Zeus, you have already acknowledged there is a Zeus. Correct or not?
Stop right there and confirm or deny.

I'm guessing that you do not have the fullest capacity in your mindset to understand the simplicity of our responses. IF you are an a-Zeusist, WHY?

Zeus is a MYTHOLOGICAL Greek God, Lets restate that, MYTHOLOGICAL. Hence the fact that it is a figment of our imagination, God is NOT. You have no proof to deny the fact that there is no God, I on the other hand have the Bible, a book which has been tried to be disproved but scholars are unable to because it is historically correct and that's why atheists who do real research decide to convert to Christianity because they see the wonders that God does.

Says who??? You?
I just thought of a three-eyed sloth living on Pluto and guess what, my brain is capable of denying it's existence and understanding that it is not real.

Wow, you are a deluded shut-in I think maybe. Just because you claim something to be so does not make it so.

Yahweh is MYTHOLOGICAL Hebrew war god, Lets restate that, MYTHOLOGICAL. Hence the fact that it is a figment of our imagination, Zeus is NOT.
Bare assertions will get you nowhere.
And as for the bible and its happy horseshit, where to even begin?
This is pathetic. Jesus! Please send us a better apologist! For the love of Zeus!
