The whole idea of god is a fallacy. The believer begins by asserting all things require a creator, but quickly exempts their god from the rule. So, if the universe requires a creator, why doesn’t your god? The only answer they can come up with is, “Because he’s god” and that’s not very compelling.
Few believers stop there, however. It’s not enough to simply accept the existence of some creator, oh no, there’s more. The creator has likes and dislikes, very much like a “turn on and turn off” list. And it’s all been written down in a book called the Bible. Of course this brings up more problems: How can we be sure that the writers of the book got it right, and were truly divinely inspired… Well that’s easy…. YOU TOO must be divinely inspired, and then it’s all crystal clear, POP! instantly!
The book goes much deeper than that… if you keep reading (past the flood, the famines, the massacres, baby killing and porno scenes complete with… well we won’t go there) you’ll get to the part where god realizes he’s still pissed off about what Eve did way back in Chapter 1, and he can’t seem to find it in his heart to forgive mankind for the evil sin of eating from the forbidden tree of knowledge. So he does like any loving creator does, he kills his own son, and leaves a few drunken fisherman and goat herders to write it all down.
Now, Here comes the good part… If you believe this story (written and told by humans), the god is HAPPY with you, and will reward you with eternal never-ending bliss, but if you don’t believe the story, look out, god will become angry and not allow you into the never-ending party of bliss.
The whole part about the camel and the eye of the needle… that’s good too. This way, you can look at the rich man and laugh, “What a fool, he’ll never get to heaven like me”. But does the rich man care? Heck no! He’s having way too much fun with all that cash to worry seriously about the afterlife.

Why do atheists insist on getting on here and asking questions about god if they dont believe? Find something better to do with your time.

I know the "god concept" is logically impossible... so "yes".
