I haven't concluded God doesn't exist because I can't disprove God, I rather strongly believe He doesn't exist. In a nutshell this is because I think the evidence for God is poor, and I think we should base our beliefs on the evidence. The Bible is poor evidence, much of it being myth rather than history. The Gospels are poor evidence having been written decades after the events and not by eye witnesses. Gods are obviously made up by man and out of the thousands to choose from from I disbelieve in only one more than you do.

Hi Whatsisface, had I made this request to you already, namely:
Please give an exposition on how and why you concluded that God does not exist.
Anyway, just the same, I like to read from you an exposition on how and why you concluded that God does not exist.
Regards.

My own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we *can* suppose. JBS Haldane.

Hi Whatsisface, you say categorically:
(1) "I haven't concluded God doesn't exist because I can't disprove God."
Then you say it is just a strong belief He doesn't:
(2) "I rather strongly believe He doesn't exist."
So, on the one hand, you admit you cannot disprove God exists.
Then on the other hand, you also admit that it is just a negative belief, you mean that you don't have knowledge, what you have is just belief however strong, but still just belief - belief is not knowledge.
After the two points above, the rest of your words are in fact your attempt to prove God does not exist, contrary to the two points above:
(3) "In a nutshell this is because I think the evidence for God is poor, and I think we should base our beliefs on the evidence. The Bible is poor evidence, much of it being myth rather than history. The Gospels are poor evidence having been written decades after the events and not by eye witnesses. Gods are obviously made up by man and out of the thousands to choose from from I disbelieve in only one more than you do."
If anything, please make up your mind, you are into just a disbelief in God or you want to diprove God exists.
If you want to prove God does not exist, then write a systematic rational exposition of your disrpoof of God existing.
