Why does it matter so much to atheists that God doesn't exist?

IT does not matter, mainly because it does not exist.

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

And how do you deny hundreds of years of advancement in all fields of science?

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

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

A belief in a god is not the problem.

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.

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

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

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.

THE BIBLE IS THE PROBLEM!

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

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?
