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.

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

How do you handle your mother-in-law after you heard her talking badly about you in the next room?

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

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

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

What was your best sex experience that still makes you horny?

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

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 you stop your balls from sweating?

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

A belief in a god is not the problem.

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

How are Hinduism and Sikhism related, considering they both originated in Punjab, India?

THE BIBLE IS THE PROBLEM!
