Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch, we are free.

As an atheist I enjoy supernatural and other mythologies and legends, I find them intriguing.
We do not just decide that there is no God or supernatural force, no, our atheism is a direct result of a deficit of evidence. Until you can prove that your God is demonstrable then we can talk

Hebrews 13:8
God is the same yesterday and today and forever.
He is unchanging, so the laws that applied then still apply today

And some more
a Woman is Not a Virgin When She Gets Married, She Has to Die
“If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and detests her, and charges her with shameful conduct, and brings a bad name on her, and says, ‘I took this woman, and when I came to her I found she was not a virgin,’ … and evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones … (NKJV) — Deuteronomy 22:13-14,20-21
There’s Nothing Wrong With Slavery
Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. (NIV) — Leviticus 25:44
Gays Should be Put to Death
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them. (NRSV) — Leviticus 20:13

Here are some laws Christians must follow:
Blasphemy is Punishable by Death
One who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall be put to death; the whole congregation shall stone the blasphemer. Aliens as well as citizens, when they blaspheme the Name, shall be put to death. (NRSV) — Leviticus 24:16
Cheaters Must Die
If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. (NIV) — Leviticus 20:10
Dishonoring Your Mother or Father is Punishable by Death
Anyone who dishonors father or mother must be put to death. Such a person is guilty of a capital offense. (NLT) — Leviticus 20:9
People Who Work on Sunday Should be Killed
You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the LORD. Anyone who works on that day must be put to death. (NLT) — Exodus 35:2

For those of you who think that the Old Testament has been replaced by the new:
“For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:18-19
“It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid.” (Luke 16:17)
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.” (Matthew 5:17)
“Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law” (John7:19)

Wait a sec...
Hebrews 13:8
God is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Meaning that God is still the vengeful, angry, cruel, and vindictive god that he was then.
Also you can't just through out the majority of your holy book because its inconvenient
Matthew 5:17
Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.
He specifically says that you must keep the old laws and that he is no here to change them.

Of course according to the bible and according to most Christians, hell is exactly where I’m headed, no matter the life that I lead or the choices that I make, or the intentions that I have, if I don’t at least think that a god exists, well…sucks for me. And in the mean time, you know, extreme rapists, and murders, and child molesters are welcomed into heaven with open arms so long as they accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior before their demise. And if it turns out that this is the case…then that’s ok too. Because I don’t know how I would be able to handle spending eternity alongside a being whose idea of compassion and fairness makes me sick to my stomach, A being whose empathy would be so easily trumped by his vanity. So that’s my answer...
Good thing I’m not wrong. :-)

And when I take into consideration what follows naturally from the knowledge attributed to this being and I combine that with what follows naturally from the compassion attribute to this being, it’s difficult for me to conceive that this being wouldn’t be in some sense proud of me, and pleased with the way that I’ve employed the intellect and the moral sense with which he would have endowed me, even if it turns out that I was wrong.
I have a hard time imagining that this God would be offended by me, and my thought process. Offended enough to allow for me to endure unbearable torment for all of eternity, and not as a form of discipline or correction or redemption, since it never ends, there’s nothing constructive about hell. You don’t come out of hell a better person, you don’t come out at all. And so the only reason for the existence of such a thing, would be vengeance.

Too many propositions that require Special Pleading, or Circular Reasoning, or ad-hoc speculation, and that I didn’t simply observe anything about reality that couldn’t have been the result of natural cumulative processes.
It would be know that my cognitive faculties do not allow me to choose what I am and am not convinced is true about reality. That my disbelief is an involuntarily reaction to what I perceived as a deficit of evidence for God’s existence. And most importantly, it would be known that I thought it insufficient, and even immoral, to pretend to believe in this being simply because I feared punishment or sought reward.

But I would take comfort in knowing that the being responsible for judging me, for evaluating me, and ultimately deciding my fate, knows me so perfectly that I don’t need to make any excuses for myself. The omniscience of this being would allow me to feel perfectly represented. I don’t have to plead a case, I don’t have to persuade anyone that my intentions were pure. These things are already known to this being. It would be known that I never doubted God’s existence out of rebellion, or spite, or of disregard for authority. It would be know that I would have preferred the existence of a loving God all along and would have no problem obeying the commands of this loving God, but I just found too many problems inherent in the concept. Too many contradictions…too many holes.

I would be absolutely floored, if I found out, with certainty that the Christian God specifically, exists. And the first question, the first thought that would enter into my mind I know is, “what was wrong with my reasoning.” I would beg, I would plead, regardless of whether I was on my way to heaven or hell, just to know, what the flaw was in my thinking. Where along the way were the mistakes I made that led me to the wrong conclusion? I would give anything to know that. I would give anything to know the answers.
Of course, this God would know all too well, I took truth very seriously in my life. I never believed anything because I wanted it to be true or because I thought it would be beneficial in some way to assume it was true. And likewise, I never doubted any claim, simply because I preferred it not to be true.

He would understand why I think that I’ve lived a good life, why I think that I’ve made good choices, even if Christians don’t.
He would be aware of all the actions and all the characteristics that I’ve seen attributed to him, by Christians, as well as scripture, and why those actions and characteristics seem undeniably incompatible to me, not just with one another, but to the observable world. He would know about the time in my life when I actually picked up a bible and made it a point to read the whole thing. And he would know the hundreds of verses which I came upon which I found horrifying or absurd or completely incompatible with the notion that this was inspired by a just and loving being concerned and loving being concerned with ensuring our salvation, even if Christians don’t.
So if I found myself standing before this being, my immediate reaction would be one of complete shock, complete and utter shock.

This God would be acutely aware of my history, of the causal chain of events and experiences that cumulatively contributed to the development of my entire personality and psyche and outlook on life. This being would understand impeccably that I am nothing more and nothing less than a product of that which I’ve experienced. Every interaction that I’ve ever had that changed me or forced me to think differently, down to the exact moment in my life that caused me to care about philosophy, and religion, and theology, and the afterlife. This being would have a perfect appreciation for that. God would understand intimately my reasoning and my thought process, and how I arrived at the conclusions I did. Even if Christians don’t, he would know my views on morality, and ethics, and understand specifically why I think it more virtuous to approach religious claims critically and prudently than to accept them at face value on faith.

Ok, so I die. And much to my surprise, I find myself standing before the God of Christianity. What do I do? How do I feel about this? What should I think? What should I say? What if I’m wrong?
And when I think about this question I think about the fact that there are two very interesting characteristics that have always been attributed to this God and one is Omni-benevolence. Optimal love…Optimal compassion…Optimal mercy…Optimal concern for the well being of others. And the other, is omniscience, knowing everything that could possibly be known about anything, from any point of view, at any time, in any context. And one inescapable conclusion that follows from this is that if this being exists, it knows me, I mean really knows me, understands me as well as I can possibly be understood. This is not a mystery. He is not sitting up in heaven wracking his brain trying to figure out why Scott can’t seem to believe in him.
