If they didn't care, they wouldn't go to the extremes that they do to try to disprove His existence. If you don't care about something, you don't give it the attention that atheists give to God.

The "they" you are talking about are the attention seekers. the vast majority of us truly don't care. Sort of like how you don't care (or hate - because you don't care) about Thor, Zeus, Xenu, Krishna, Mohammad, etc. Most atheists feel EXACTLY as you do about the other Gods available for your worship. They just happen to feel that way about one more god - YOUR god. No biggie, really.

There is nobody on any obsessive campaign to prove the the Tooth Fairy doesn't exist.

If you were to lump the Tooth Fairy into the same pot as all supernaturalism, cult belief, astrology, homeopathy, and "crypto-insert the hot topic of the day here, there are plenty of people who make a good living debunking such nonsense. As far as "disproving God," though, that's impossible as one cannot prove a negative. The burden of proof is always on the believers. Thus far, I remain unconvinced.

Of course, you mention that fully 2000 of 2500 biblical prophecies have been fulfilled, so maybe you'll be the one to convince me.

Are you aware of anyone who makes it their life's mission to disprove the existence of Thor, Zeus, Xenu, Krishna, or Mohammad? Have you ever known of anyone with an expressed hatred of Mohammad storming a mosque?

Neither do I. It's Jesus Christ who enrages people. Funny, that, huh?

Well, no, actually the burden of proof isn't on the believers. According to God, in Romans 1:20, His creation is evidence enough of His existence and man is without excuse in denying Him because of it. So God has proven His existence already in His creation; it is up to the God-deniers to disprove His existence.

It wouldn't matter what "proof" you had because this isn't really about the existence or non-existence of God- it's about the fact that God told us that He has set eternity in the hearts of men and some of those men are enraged at the thought that there is a day of accounting, there is Someone to Whom they will answer for the choices they have made. It is unfathomable to arrogant, fallen man that there could possibly be a God who would judge them.

What possible benefit can be derived from raging against God? It’s sheer vanity this rage against God. It’s useless, it won’t achieve a thing. Furthermore it seems atheists must always become a horde to stand against God. Apparently they assume that if they become a big enough mob they can withstand God’s Holy judgment. They can put God away by the sheer size and force behind them. How can people be so foolish as to believe such a thing?

That's what this is really all about. Simple rebellion against God that is as old as recorded time.

Of course, you mention that fully 2000 of 2500 biblical prophecies have been fulfilled, so maybe you'll be the one to convince me.

Here are a few to get you started:
