I won the huge genetic lottery

Uh ... let's not be too hasty on that one ...

Believing there's no God means I can't really be forgiven except by kindness and faulty memories. That's good

Believing there IS a god means you can be forgiven by Grace alone. THAT is Divine.

... believing there is no God lets me be proven wrong and that's always fun. It means I'm learning something.

Unfortunately, no, it doesn't. But have fun.

Believing there is no God means the suffering I've seen in my family, and indeed all the suffering in the world, isn't caused by an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent force that isn't bothered to help or is just testing us, but rather something we all may be able to help others with in the future. No God means the possibility of less suffering in the future.

Probably the most specious gibberish in this self-indulgent spew. Believing there IS a god means the world's suffering takes place with his knowledge and without his intervention. That's called Free Will. The suffering is the result of MAN'S inadequacies, not God's. And there's no indication whatever that MAN is likely to change; the only thing redeeming him is God's love. Without that, there is NO possiblity of less suffering in the future. In fact, there is little hope of us ever changing anything except the tools we use to kill each other.

Believing there is no God gives me more room for belief in family, people, love, truth, beauty, sex, Jell-o and all the other things I can prove and that make this life the best life I will ever have.

No believing in god means you have forfeited the life beyond for the life temporal. It also makes you so empty you feel compelled to write such self-absorbed drivel, as if anyone would be interested in your personal views on god.

I hope Jello is a comfort for you in Hell.

Oh please! How is an earthquake, a tsunami, a flash flood, a force five hurrican the result of MAN'S inadequacies. I don't think so. Try again.
