God does not love me, because he does not exist (strong atheist here, obviously).
It has nothing to do with what the bible says, and everything to do with the fact that the concept of a judeo-christian god, or hindu god, or any of the rest, is laughable on the face of it, and provably so.
We know from the archaeological record that there were other gods that primitive people believed in before the current gods came into fashion. The remnants of these myths are even still embedded in the bible, obscure to people that don't know their history.
For example, in Canaan (what the Israelites supposedly conquered after allegedly leaving Egypt) there was a god named El, who had 70 sons, and each son was the particular god of a tribe. His name lives on in the word Elohim, which is plural, and in names like Michael, Gabriel, even Israel.
The god you think of as Yaweh or Jehova, the 'one true god' was once just one of 70 sons of El. This is why he was 'god of the Jews', each tribe had their own representative. In Psalms, there's actually a passage that refers to Yaweh making a case before the council of gods, plural.
Much of Judaism is borrowed from other religions. The Ar of the Covenant has it's predecessor in an Ark of Isis, which is identical in every respect. You can see a real live example at the Egyptian museum in Cairo. There is a psalm that is a direct quote from a song to the sun god sung by ancient egyptians.
This is aside from the plain ridiculousness of the old testament. 10 commandments and not one against slavery or rape. In fact, God commands you to do both, over and over again! Even if he did exist I would not worship such a being. Of course, christians will claim not to, because god is all love or some other such bullshit. What this really means is that god is created by man, at the present time, to fulfill his spiritual needs. Any all-knowing, all powerful creator of the universe would not subsume himself to the present needs of his creations. If pigs are unclean, then they are unclean...if you're not supposed to do any work on the sabbath, not even starting a fire, under the pain of death, then that's how it would be forever.
No, belief in god is a fashion, and will change again in the years to come so vastly that in a few centuries what christians believe about god will be so foreign to you as to be unrecognizable. Anything that is a fashion, that comes and goes and changes ephemerally like a trick of the light based on the whims of man, cannot come from an omnipotent and omniscient being, eternal creator of the cosmos.
So, no god. No Apollo, or Zeus. No Vishnu, no Jesus, no Jehova, no Mithras, no Ishtar, no Amen-Ra, no Allah, no Isis or any of the rest. No Santa Claus or Easter bunny either, while we're at it. Just the world we're living in, and it's a pretty awesome world if you ask me. No need to invent an invisible man to explain where it al comes from. Bronze-age shepherds may have needed crutches like that, to explain where the sun went at night and where lightning and thunder came from etc etc, but we're beyond that now. Or should be.
Now there are fossils, geologic strata going back billions of years, cosmic background radiation, and ass-loads of evidence of every kind to show us where we have come from and how we got here. And you know what? Long after any religion you recognize has either passed away or morphed into something completely different and unrecognizable to you, those dinosaur bones will look exactly the same. The layers in the rocks, and the CMB will still be there, even a billion years from now even. God only wishes he had that kind of permanence.
f course gay men will strike back and say that they are atheist.What do you expect?
