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

THE BIBLE IS THE PROBLEM!

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?

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

What is your favourite summer outfit? Why?

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

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

A belief in a god is not the problem.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

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

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

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

My friend asked my crush and he said my crush hates me but not in a rude way. What does that mean?

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

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?

Is there an MBTI personality that is more or less likely to handle stress?

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