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

A belief in a god is not the problem.

THE BIBLE IS THE PROBLEM!

Has a cop ever said something to you which was completely unexpected?

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

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

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

What was your first impression of The Carter V by Lil Wayne? Did it feel like 2008 Wayne, when you heard the first few songs.

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

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

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?

What does it mean when you dream that your mother died?

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?

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

What should every American know before traveling to the UK?

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