No, they attack me for a variety of reasons. They don't like my beliefs on a broad scale.
No, your arguments are attacked because you have not supported many of your claims with evidence, nor logic.
Not "liking" your claims or beliefs is irrelevant.

But this argument extends to why anyone would attack the notion of God as if it has any consequence to them. Why hasn't anyone answered my question? If you don't believe in God then what do they care? Its irrational-- unless, of course, there is some tacit recognition that God does exist.
Way back in
message #15 of this thread, Purple Youko anwered your question perfectly.
Maybe you missed it, so here it is again.

If they truly disbelieved, then what compulsion is there is in telling us all about it? Who cares, right?
I think you are missing the point.
At least in my own experience, I have had to continuously defend my atheistic position against a barrage of assaults.
People telling me how I think and feel, then refusing to accept what i tell them about it.
People defining my lack of belief into something it isn't and arguing that I must believe in this or that.
There is nothing I would like more than to just forget about God entirely but everywhere I look, my lack of belief is under attack.
You ask...

Who cares?
I answer.. Obviously
you do since you brought it up and I didn't. I don't care in the slightest but I won't stand idly by and be dissed.
