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

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?

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

What topics are okay with you in comics and what topics should be totally off the table?

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

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

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

Why did it take seven days for troops with helicopters, equipment, supplies, food, and water to be dispatched to southeast storm zones?

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

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

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

How would you feel if your friend confided in you that she is cheating on her husband, knowing that he loves her deeply? What emotional and ethical considerations would you grapple with in response to her revelation?

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.

THE BIBLE IS THE PROBLEM!

A belief in a god is not the problem.

I'm very sick. 72 years old. I thinking I'm losing my mind. My dead friend told me it's going to be okay. I could feel him. There is more…I don't know what but more.

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