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

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.

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

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

THE BIBLE IS THE PROBLEM!

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

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

Why do you have to be 18+ to go live on TikTok?

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

A belief in a god is not the problem.

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

Why aren't you a Trump supporter?

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

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

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?

How do I get a white man for a serious relationship?

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