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

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

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?

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

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

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.

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

What happened to the American Russell Bentley from Texas that was fighting for the pro-Russian commies?

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

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

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

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

A belief in a god is not the problem.

Hi, I’m Jo. My best friend died 2 years ago today. My husband died 6 months later. So, I’m a depressed mess (we were married 28 years) and can’t shake it. Even my Brother is worried. Some days I don’t do anything, and avoid men cause I don’t want to date. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading.
