I am brand new and here to try to dissuade literalists and fundamentals from their current God and introduce a better one.
It is my view that all literalists and fundamentals hurt all of us who are Religionists.
They all hurt their parent religions and everyone else who has a belief. They make us all into laughing stocks and should rethink their position. There is a Godhead but not the God of talking animals, genocidal floods and retribution. Belief in fantasy is evil.

They also do much harm to their own.

For evil to grow my friends, all good people need do is nothing.
Fight them when you can.

Religions have yet to make their case for a real God and the Abrahamic cults, Christianity and Islam follow a God who is demonstrably a rather immoral dude that could just as easily cure those he thinks defective yet murders instead. These murders are of course just good old justice to his deluded followers.
It is also impossible for non believers to prove that there is no God and they are foolish to try to do so. When I discuss God with theists I try to speak to their Gods moral character instead of his reality. This, with the few who can think, reduces the name calling and makes for a sometimes winnable argument unless they bring out theist trump card of----God is God and he can break whatever rules he sets for man with impunity because he is of course God.
The above shows why we cannot prove God’s non existence.
Below I include to show what I give to the I D crowd.

My thinking, as a Gnostic Christian, my closest but not exact label, is closer to atheist thinking yet because of my personal apotheosis, I cannot call myself this old label that I once took. Since the mode of access to the cosmic consciousness is through our minds, I am a strong supporter of the notion of the God within much like Gnostic Jesus was.
The Godhead then that I know is a cosmic consciousness and our next evolutionary step. No proof and no dogma to sell so please do not ask for any. I have also enjoyed all the labels that non believers reserve for any that claim belief without facts so please do not bother. It is like water off a ducks back. As far as I could ascertain from my brief touch of this Godhead is that it is not a miracle working super absentee God. That one as far as I know never existed. I am an evolutionist. It was born of the first true human and awaits us all. There is no hell. Theists tend to not like that as they tend to love to hate and want to see the --others-- burn. Yuk.
What lead me to my apotheosis was thinking like this------
Candide
"It is demonstrable that things cannot be otherwise than as they are; for as all things have been created for some end, they must necessarily be created for the best end.”

And I call us all Gods WIP’s and evolving perfection.
I try to KIS and give and take at whatever decibel level you want but tend not to take just plain abuse unless it is teaching me something and like a lively down and dirty debate.
Patience with fools is definitely not my style and I do not mind calling Bible God a genocidal S O B.
I also like to accentuate that kind of statement with You Tube, which BTW, I use often.
