you dont believe in God. Hoo-ah for you. Why do you all feel the need to answer every question that starts "Is God..." or "Does God..." with "it doesnt matter because he doesnt exist"?
You aren't going to get best answer, you're just going to dilute your best answer percent.
You arent going to convert anyone to atheism - and since you dont believe in any divine will, there's no reason for you to even try in the first place.
And its not a discussion board, you cant post replies and hold a debate, so its not like you can even get a cheap thrill out of being a dick and trolling and riling someone else up, unless just getting half a dozen anonymous thumbs down is enough to make you smirk....
I cant see any practical reason for atheists to even bother expending the fraction of a calorie your body would exert to move your fingers to type those responses.
Whats the point? I really want to know what you get out of it, so please dont just spam with atheist-bashing....

edit: I know you think its the truth that God doesnt exist - I'm not trying to dissuade you. I'm just wondering why, since thats your belief, you care about what anyone else thinks.
Christians believe God wants them to proselytize (though some of us do take that the wrong way admittedly), but atheists have no reason to care if everyone else dies thinking they're going to an afterlife or not, since they're all just dead anyway, right?

Have you ever noticed that while militant atheists and conservative fundamentalists hold opposite positions, they are really of exactly the same mentality? Both are equally inflexible and rigid.

Okay, let's calm down and be a little rational! I'm a Christian and you should know that no one is going to listen if you are going to carry on like a child throwing a tantrum!
I agree that atheists that I have met are all in your face about how much they hate Christianity without ever having been asked their opinion or listened to anyone else talk about it in the first place.
The point is, that YOU are on the right path and although Jesus wanted people to spread the Word to the world for the salvation of mankind. There is a time and place for everything and that means to pray about it in every situation.
God helps people to find doors of opportunity that we are not capable of finding on our own. He also wants peace and love and humbleness.

We're here to show you how the not-so-silent minority thinks. Too many Christians create a bubble to live in, and don't call each other out on their hypocrisies. Atheists are here to keep the rest of you in check.
And I'm not here for Best Answers or points. I'd do this if there were no points involved.

I care because of the inquisitions. I care because of the crusades. I care because of stem cell research. Religious people do things because of faith, not anything rational. They kill and maim and hurt based on what their imaginary friend tells them.
Religious people are dangerous.

It's important that believers be attacked.
The reason is that there is a possibility that God exists, no matter how small that possibility. One day, unbelievers may come face to face with their Creator and they will have to answer why they didn't seek Him. They figure they will say that He didn't provide sufficient evidence of His existence.
The fact that there are believers who sought God undermines the defense they plan on making. They must therefore try to show that believers are irrational.

How do you think you would respond if I started asking serious questions about Santa Claus?

You may think this is not a debate site, and that's fine.
But it is a question and answer site and what you wrote is not a question.

Poor persecuted christian.
Once again, you stay out of the schools, stop your attempts to legislate your beliefs and the rest of us will leave you alone also.
