Why does it matter so much to atheists that God doesn't exist?

THE BIBLE IS THE PROBLEM!

IT does not matter, mainly because it does not exist.

Notice that I said their rules, not any gods rules.

What does it mean when someone tells you they love you and want you in their life, but doesn't want to commit?

Because these are not any gods rules we are talking about.

Those rules that you are trying to reinstate are rules made by men who didn't know anything about the earth, nor anything about all of the other inhabitants of it. How can you not see that?

A belief in a god is not the problem.

Why do many people think that Japan is not a gay-friendly country whereas 72% Japanese support same-sex marriage (the same number as in the US)?

I am speaking to the US Bible thumpers here, of course ~ many of whom are flat-earthers who deny evolution and see scientists as evil people who are constantly trying, and succeeding, in disproving their beliefs one by one.

And then use and ENJOY these fantastic scientific advancements every single day of your life?

And how do you deny hundreds of years of advancement in all fields of science?

Who has experienced what they called a happy accident (bestiality)?

These are man made rules - made thousands of years ago for the use of the humans who lived thousands of years ago.

The people of the modern world have evolved past all of that nonsense.

I do not personally care if you believe in a god or not.

How do you say "I don't speak Italian yet, but I hope to speak it well one day. It would be a pleasure to learn Italian with you. Would you like to teach me Italian?" in Italian?

My problem is that people who try to shove their rules down everyone's throats - including by physical force - DO EXIST .
