They jsut don't care a whit about him

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.

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

99% of atheists aren't conducting an obsessive campaign to prove that God doesn't exist. Now, there are those on a campaign (obsessive or otherwise) to prove that the paranormal doesn't exist; Penn & Teller with their wonderful show Bullsh!t comes to mind, as well as others such as the Committee For Inquiry (www.csicop.org) and Skeptic Magazine (www.skeptic.com).

They certainly "care" about things such as God, astrology, UFOs, Bigfoot, etc., in the sense they're concerned about the effects that belief in such utter (from their point of view) nonsense has upon society.

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.
