I'm wondering why that isn't the correct response, and how it is a distinction has been made between a correct and an incorrect response? It would be mine. I've already heard the stories....I still don't care. God popping down from wherever won't change the fact that I don't give a shit.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You also assume that this god cares in the slightest what we think or do. The problem is that evidence alleging the existence of god has value only if you make those assumptions beforehand. The bias precedes the evidence, and it can't be trusted.

If he really wants me to know, maybe he should speak a little louder. Oh, yes...the problem is with God's volume and not your willingness to listen.

You know I used to be a christian, right? A Catholic in fact. Its not like I've stuck my fingers in my ears, I just realized I was talking to myself all that time.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Because I realized that all the reasons I had for believing were fallacious and unfounded, and that anything I attributed to a 'god' in the past were either my own personal thoughts and beliefs or simply chance events. And I didn't just "decide" to stop believing, I realized I simply couldn't believe, I was no longer convinced.
The fact that the Catholic church has so much about it that I now consider horridly immoral and harmful is beside the point, but looking back on it I don't know how I ever could believe that stuff, except that of course it was pushed onto me from a very young age.
