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

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

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

Do you think Trump is gambling with the lives of millions of people by getting involved in Russia-Ukraine relations?

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

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

THE BIBLE IS THE PROBLEM!

Zionists keep saying Israel “bought” the Palestinian’s land when the ownership was less than 5% prior to 1948. If Israel did indeed purchase majority of Palestinian land, why did the zionist state pass laws to confiscate Palestinian property?

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

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

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

A belief in a god is not the problem.

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

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

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?
