"I have come to the conclusion that religion is a fools game, subjecting yourself to misguided men by the promise of eternal life." [excerpt]You have come to the same conclusion that I have.
"I would rather live my life my way, with my eyes wide open : )" [excerpt]Possibly the number one reason people reject God is because the want to do things 'their way' with their 'eyes wide shut' towards God.
"Do I have any answers? I don't even know the questions, that is what makes it fun." [excerpt]Russian roulette?
"I do know that life is too precious to waste on false promises." [excerpt]I agree.
No but they often are. People of the book run the gamut from very intelligent and learned to deliberately ignorant.
Above you admitted that you don't know the questions (not to mention the answers), how then do you know that the premise that God does not exist is not false?
It primarily depends on the definition of 'God.' The problem is that it is impossible to prove a negative. The most surprising realization came when I discovered that there are no clear prophecies that have been fulfilled. I had a fortune telling grandmother that did a better job than any prophecy I have ever read. I would think that the primary purpose of God would be to predict the future.
The bottom line though is that it is impossible to predict the future. If there was someone out there who could consistently and accurately predict the future I probably would believe in God : ) There isn't and has never been someone like that.
