So, it is because the philosophy which does not obey the line of religion thus lost its way, that the 'I' took the reins into its own hands and ran into all sorts of misguidance. And out of the 'I' that was in this position, a tree of Zaqqum sprang forth and engulfed more than half of mankind.
Thus, in the branch of power of animal appetites of that tree, the fruits it has presented to mankind are idols and goddesses. Because, according to the principles of philosophy, power is approved. 'Might is right' is the norm, even. It says, "All power to the strongest." "The winner takes all," and, "In power there is right."13 It has given moral support to tyranny, encouraged despots, and urged oppressors to claim divinity.

It's not like atheists are without answers for these questions. You are.
Look... study up on the theory of evolution. Study up on physics and bioligy. Read a book or two by a non-partisan author on the subject. I assure you that you will understand the atheist perspective a little better if you do.
I haven't met one atheist with the god complex that you are describing. Most of them will attribute their existence to chance, evolution and a little luck. If they find that these ideas (chance, evolution, science, luck, etc.) more palatable than the religious ideals that some hold, well then more power to them. Does simply believeing these things make them bad people unworthy of God's love?
I don't think so, and neither should you.

Look at what you wrote, and then imagine a well-educated, well-spoken person (like the typical atheist) reading it. You made no sense, and your writing is awful, yet you think that you have something to say to us. That's terribly arrogant.
I suggest that you make an effort to see your place in the world. You're not a teacher, and you're not even remotely in a position to be telling others what they should believe. If you eventually get your own act together, maybe you will be, but frankly, you've got a hell of a lot of work to do before you reach that point.

Yes, I will die. I will cease to exist, and my body will rot. I know this, and I accept it.
There is a greater power than I. It is gravity. I can jump only so high, but no higher. Gravity is measurable. Gravity is real. I don't have to believe in gravity for it to work.
Who set the rules? No one. Life evolved on Earth because conditions were favorable. Nothing more, nothing less. If conditions had not been favorable, no life.
There are questions to which science has not yet found the answers, but I'm content to say "We don't know everything," rather than make something up.

Well, since you appear to have the inside track on on this stuff, you must be one of those blessed people that have regular face-to-face encounters with the Almighty, wherein God explains what God want and expects and What God's will is and God's master plan.
So please, the next time God stops by for your chat, ask God to use the gas cloud from a supernova to write, "YAHWEH SAYS, HI'" or something meaningful, so we know what you're asking us worthy of making the Atheists change their minds.

Ah, argument from ignorance. It's the theists' mainstay:
"Due to the fact that I, as a theist, am stupid beyond belief and cannot empirically or logically explain reality, I hereby thrust my standards onto all others and posit magic as the explanation for everything I am currently unwilling or unable to understand."
Brilliant.

Oh senseless man, who cannot possibly make a worm, and yet will make Gods by the dozens.

Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a flea, and yet he will be making gods by the dozens.
